Updating a site

This section describes how to update a site by modifying the site definition, the keyword redirect group, or the site-based filter.

You can update a site definition by changing the URL pattern, the display name, or description. You can also modify the site-based filter. To update a site, you must export the application, edit the site, and then import the updated application. To remove the site altogether, you can delete the site definition, or to stop record filtering on a site, you can delete the filterState.xml file.

You can update a keyword redirect group by changing the display name or the enablement of the Thesauras or stemming for search terms.

  1. Export the application with the site that you want to update.

    1. Navigate to the <app dir>\control\ directory on Windows (<app dir>/control/ directory on UNIX).

    2. From the command line, export the application by entering the following command: runcommand.<bat|sh> IFCR exportApplication <destination>

    3. Navigate to the destination directory that you specified.

    4. Unzip the <app name><date&time>.zip file to an empty directory, for example: \myexports\discover.

  2. Update the site definition for the site.

    1. Navigate to the /pages/<site ID> directory for the site in your unzipped exported application, for example pages/DiscoverCameras.

    2. Use an editor to modify the site definition JSON file with updated information for your site.

    3. Save and close the file.

  3. Update the site-based keyword redirect group.

    1. Navigate to the \config\import\redirects\ directory for the site in your unzipped exported application, for example \config\import\redirects\DiscoverCamerasGrp\.

    2. Use an editor to modify the keyword redirect group JSON file with updated information for your site.

    3. Save and close the file.

  4. If the site has a site-based filter that needs to be updated, edit the filterState.xml file.

  5. Import the application with the modified site.

    1. Navigate to the <app dir>\control\ directory on Windows (<app dir>/control/ directory on UNIX).

    2. From the command line, import the updated application by entering the following command: runcommand.<bat/sh> IFCR importApplication <path to source>

      For example: 

      runcommand.bat IFCR importApplication c:\myexports\discover
