1. How do I get started with Sustainability?
  2. Configure Search Indexes

Configure Search Indexes

After deploying the descriptive flexfield, you must update the search index to enable the activity type attributes to be visible in the search results on the Sustainability Activities and Emission Factor Mappings page.

Before you start

To perform this procedure, you must be assigned a role that includes the Grant Search Framework Manager Permissions (FND_SEARCH_FWK_MGR_PRIV) privilege.

To update the search index, perform the following steps on each instance where you plan to use Oracle Sustainability:

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Search Indexes task:
    • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management, Product Management, or Procurement
    • Functional Area: Application Extensions
  2. On the Manage Search Index page, if you see the "No index" message, then wait for a couple of minutes for the indexes to load.
  3. Search for fa-prc.
  4. From the search results, scroll down and locate the fa-prc-sus-activities index, and then click the Configure icon against it.
  5. On the Edit Index Activities page, scroll to and expand EmissionFactorMapDFF.
  6. Expand each updated descriptive flexfield context. Then, expand each context-sensitive segment, and select the Value and Description check boxes.
  7. Click Save. Then click Cancel to go back to the Manage Search Indexes page.
  8. Refresh the Manage Search Indexes page. When the indexes are listed, search for fa-prc again. From the search results, scroll down and locate the fa-prc-sus-activities index.
  9. Click Publish for the fa-prc-sus-activities index to publish the changes.

    A message confirming that a background indexing process has been submitted is displayed. After the process is completed, the values of the updated attributes will be visible in the Activity Type Attributes column in the Sustainability Activities page.

  10. Repeat Steps 4 through 10 to update the search index for the Emission Factor Mappings page. While doing so, ensure to replace all instances of "fa-prc-sus-activities" with fa-prc-sus-efmaps.
Tip: If the Publish button is not enabled, then depending on whether you are updating the search index for the Sustainability Activities page or Emission Factor Mappings page, run the “ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS” scheduled process with the Index Name to Reingest parameter set to fa-prc-sus-activities or fa-prc-sus-efmaps, respectively. Then, try publishing the index.
