Configuration

Direct Transfer requires the following configurations:

• Specify the number of indexing handlers on the Search Options page.

• Specify the maximum attachment error count on the Search Options page.

• Specify whether you want to use the Full Direct Transfer option.

Specifying Number of Indexing Handlers

You use the Search Options page to enter the number of indexing handlers.

The number of indexing handlers determine how many parallel data transfers are done from PeopleSoft to OpenSearch. The default value is 5, which means that during indexing a maximum of 5 handlers are created. This number should be less than the bulk thread queue size on OpenSearch (default value of bulk thread queue size is 50).

For search definitions where an average attachment size is 100 KB and the bulk thread queue size on OpenSearch is 50 (default value), then setting the value for Indexing Handlers to 5 would be optimal in most cases, subject to system considerations.

For indexing search definitions containing large attachments (for example, 10 MB or greater than 10 MB), then the value of Indexing Handlers can be reduced further if there are ingestion issues in the search server.

The optimal value of Indexing Handlers is dependent on the data volume, pattern and system considerations on PeopleSoft and OpenSearch.

Note:

The Number of Indexing Handlers option is used for search documents with attachments and also for search documents without attachments (in the case when Full Direct Transfer is enabled). When Full Direct Transfer is not enabled, this property is applicable only for search documents with attachments.

Specifying Max Attachment Error Count

You use the Search Options page to enter a value for Max Attachment Error Count.

Max Attachment Error Count is used to determine the error tolerance of the indexing program. It is used to specify the maximum error transactions permitted during indexing. If during indexing, the number of errors exceeds the specified value, the indexing process will exit after completing the process of sending data that is already available in memory.

See Error Handling.

Specifying Full Direct Transfer

You use the Search Options page to select Full Direct Transfer. The default value is Y.

If you set Full Direct Transfer to Y (yes), then search documents with or without attachments are directly transmitted to the search engine.

If you set Full Direct Transfer to N (no), then search documents without attachments are transmitted through the Integration Gateway while the search documents with attachments are directly transmitted to the search engine.
