Deploying and Building Recruiting Search Indexes

To create search indexes for recruiting:

1. Deploy the recruiting search definitions.

   Navigate to PeopleTools, and then Search Framework, and then Administration, and then Deploy\Delete Object to access the Deploy Search Definition page. Then select the recruiting search definitions and click the Deploy button.

2. Deploy any search categories that were not auto-deployed.

   Access the Deploy Search Category page (in the same component as the Deploy Search Definition page). Then select the desired search categories and click the Deploy button.

   As delivered, the system auto-deploys most recruiting search categories when the corresponding search index is deployed. But these search categories are must be manually deployed:

   • The HC_HRS_CG_JOB_POSTING category for Candidate Gateway job searches.

   • The HC_JPM_PROFILES category for profile searches.

   • The HC_HRS_APP_INDEX_GS category for the global search for applicants.

3. Build the Search Index.

   Navigate to PeopleTools, and then Search Framework, and then Administration, and then Schedule Search Index to access the Build Search Index page. Use this page to schedule the index build process and to indicate whether to run a full indexing process or an incremental indexing process.

   You must run a full indexing process to create an index when none exists. After the index is created, you can schedule periodic incremental builds to keep the index current.
