Setting Up and Building Search Indexes for Receivables

Use the Search Definition page (PTSF_SEARCH_DEF) to locate predefined search indexes or create new search indexes.

Navigation:

PeopleTools > Search Framework  > Designer > Search Definition

You can also use this page to define a new search index and a specific data object set for use with the index. You can define specific fields that the system will store in the search index. This search retrieves and processes data from a group of records that have multilevel parent and child relationships.

For additional information about the Search Definition page, see the PeopleTools: PeopleSoft Search Technology documentation.

Use the Build Search Index page (PTSF_SCHEDULE_SI) to schedule and build search indexes.

Navigation:

PeopleTools > Search Framework  > Administration > Schedule Search Index

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Build Search Index Page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Use this page to create and update the Search Framework search engine indexes and collections to enable Receivable item searches. The system initializes the page with values based on the index name that you select. You must create run control IDs for each search definition to build a full index and another run control ID for each search definition to build incremental indexes. You should use the search definition name followed by _FULL or _INCR for each search definition.

After you initially build your search indexes using the FULL run control, keep them updated to reflect changes that are being made to Receivables items using the INCR run control. Set up the INCR process to run as frequently as needed, depending on how often changes are made to Receivables items.
