Managing Search Indexes

This topic describes how to generate search indexes required to display data on Redwood Experience pages and to run search queries to filter and find information quickly.

Overview

Redwood Experience pages displaying lists of information, such as the pages that display the list of submitted applications use Oracle Search Cloud Service (OSCS). Before data can be displayed on these page and searched against, you must first build the associated search index for that page.

Note:

Typically, if the search index doesn't exist for a Redwood Experience page displaying a list of information, the page will display no rows of data.

Enabling Global Search for the Redwood Experience

Here's how to enable global search.

When starting at Home with Ask Oracle, select Setup and Maintenance of Offerings to go to Functional Setup Manager.

  1. Access Functional Setup Manager for your offering, such as Public Sector Permits.

  2. Click the Change Feature Opt In link.

  3. Click the Edit pencil icon in the System Administration row.

  4. Select the Enable check box for Redwood Experience for Global Search.

  5. Click the Done button.

Identifying Search Indexes

Oracle Permitting and Licensing delivers a set of search indexes, each associated with a specific Redwood Experience page. You'll need to build the search index for each page as described in the next section.

Here's how to build a search index as an administrator.

  1. When starting at Home with Ask Oracle, select Monitor Processes.

  2. Click the Schedule New Process button.

  3. Search for and open the Enterprise Scheduling Service (ESS) process with this name: ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS.

  4. On the Process Details page, enter the name of the index as the job parameter in the Index Name to Reingest field.

    For example, fa-psc-applications.

  5. Click Submit.
