Updating the Catalog Indexes
Use the Rebuild Indexes component to run the processes that update the catalog index. Enterprise Learning Management uses the catalog index to perform searches in specific locations across the application. Searches reference the catalog index rather than the actual table that stores the data to enhance search performance. Therefore, you must update the catalog index whenever you do any of the following:
Add new courses or classes to the catalog, or modify a course or class.
To update the catalog index for courses and classes you must run the process using the LS_LM_ACT_CI search definition.
Add a new curriculum or certification program or modify certain aspects of an existing one.
To update the catalog index for curricula and certifications you must run the process using the LS_LM_PRG search definition.
Add or modify an objective.
To update the catalog index for objectives you must run the process using the LS_LM_OBJV search definition.
You can run these processes manually, or you can schedule them to run at predetermined intervals. Once you run these processes, users searching the catalog can see any changes you made. These three processes work independently of each other; you can run only one process or you can run them all at the same time.
The system uses a search against the catalog index only in the following locations:
