Search Services are based on an index of keywords that is updated whenever documents are modified. Different document types require different methods for keyword extraction. Specialized parsers generate keyword information for different document types in a common format. Whenever documents are published or updated in EPM Workspace, the appropriate parser is activated to index or re-index keywords. The specialized parser understands the document content and returns keywords to the indexing facility in a standard format. The indexing facility creates the keyword index to facilitate a prompt search operation.
Parsers are available for the following content:
Interactive Reporting files (.bqy, .oce files)
Production Reporting (SQR programs, reports) files
Web Analysis files (.apt, .ard, database connection files)
Financial Reporting files (.des files)
Oracle's Hyperion® Annotations – database content
