Assigning Users to a Search Instance for Validating Indexes

When you deploy an index on a new search instance, you may want to validate or test the index before you roll out the index in a production environment. Search administrators can use the Search User Instance page to assign users to a search instance on which the deployed index needs to be validated or tested.

Note:

When you assign a user to a search instance using the Search User Instance page, you override the priority setting specified on the Search Instance Administration page for the particular user.

To assign users to a search instance where a deployed index needs to be validated or tested, access the Search User Instance page by selecting PeopleTools, and then Search Framework, and then Administration, and then Search Instance by User.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Search User Instance page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Field or Control	Description
User ID	Select a user to whom you want to assign the task of validating or testing an index that is deployed.
Search Instance	Select a search instance where you have deployed an index, which needs to be validated or tested before deploying the index to a production environment.

Note:

You would use this page to test new search instances as they come online. It does not need to be specified for all users.
