Add Data Presence Indicator to Index

Prior to adding presence indicator attributes to the object index, you must run a job that’ll populate the data in the presence indicator table so that the index ingest program can add the presence indicator data to the index.

The presence indicators are represented as attributes in the index.

  1. Go to the Scheduled Processes work area.
  2. Click Schedule New Process.
  3. Search and select the Upgrade Product Management Data job.
  4. In the Process Details dialog box, specify the following:x`
    • Upgrade Process: Execution
    • Functional Area: Item Child Entity Presence Indicator
    • Feature: You must submit a job for each of the following in the Features drop-down list, one at time after each job is completed.
      • Item has Pending Changes Indicators

      • Item has Structure Indicators
  5. Click Submit to submit the job.
