Overview of the Index Configuration Command-line Utility

The Index Configuration Command-line Utility modifies index configuration stored in the Endeca Configuration Repository for an application. This utility is typically used to modify data after it has been exported from a product catalog system and modify the search configuration settings for the data. In many cases, the utility is also used to manually create index configuration that is not part of a product catalog system.

The Index Configuration Command-line Utility is a script named index-config-cmd that you run from a command prompt. After you deploy a new application, the index-config-cmd script is available in the <app name>\control directory.

Note

Use of the Index Configuration Command-line utility (index_config_cmd.[bat|sh]) is deprecated. Use runcommand.sh IFCR exportContent and runcommand.sh IFCR importContent to configure properties and dimensions. For more information, see the Oracle Commerce Guided Search Configuration Guide.

The Index Configuration Command-line Utility has two help options that display the usage syntax. The --help option displays a summary of the tasks. The --help-detail option displays detailed usage information for a specified task. For example: 

C:\Endeca\apps\Discover\control>index_config_cmd.bat --help
usage: index-config-cmd <task-name> [options]
where <task-name> is one of the following:
   get-config
   set-config
   delete-owner
   get-merged-config
For detailed usage information for individual task options, use <task-name> --help

The command syntax for executing the tasks is: 

index_config_cmd <task-name> [options]

The <task-name> argument is the task to be performed by the utility, such as the get-config task. The task options vary, depending on the task. However, the following option can be used with any task:
