Deploying Indexes

After indexes are defined, the next step in the build process is to deploy the search definition. You always deploy search definitions and you must deploy search categories that contain more than one index. Search categories with only one index, which is the same name as a search definition, are automatically deployed.

WARNING:

The Deploy Search Definitions page also allows you to delete search definitions. Deleted search definitions are not reversible.

If a category contains more than one search definition, such as EP_PROCURE_TO_PAY, you can deploy it by following the same steps for a search definition and using the Search Categories tab. Deploying these search categories can occur before or after individual search definitions are indexed.

For more information about the Deploy Search Definitions page and the Deploy Search Category page, see the PeopleTools: PeopleSoft Search Technology, Administering PeopleSoft Search Framework, Administering Search Definitions and Search Categories.
