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.

Redwood Experience pages displaying lists of information, such as the pages that display the list of submitted applications, use the 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.

1. In the Functional Setup Manager, select Setup: Public Sector <Offering>.

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.

Index	Offering	Description
fa-psc-applications	Permits Planning and Zoning Business Licenses	Displays data on the page displaying submitted applications.
fa-psc-business-entity	Business Licenses	Displays data on the businesses list page.
fa-psc-ce-case	Code Enforcement	Displays data on the case list page.
fa-psc-ce-citation	Code Enforcement	Displays data on the citation list page.
fa-psc-ce-incident	Code Enforcement	Displays data on the incident list page.
fa-psc-inspections	Permits Planning and Zoning Business Licenses	Displays data on the inspections list page.
fa-psc-apo-parcel	Permits Planning and Zoning Business Licenses	Displays data on the parcel list page.
fa-psc-apo-address	Permits Planning and Zoning Business Licenses	Displays data on the address list page.

Building a Search Index

Using the table in the previous section as a guide, build each search index you need depending on the offerings you are implementing. Repeat these steps for each search index. Use Fusion Cloud Scheduled Processes to run the ESS job. For more information, see Best Practices for Scheduled Processes.

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

1. On the Permitting and Licensing home page, select Monitor Processes.

2. In the Scheduled Processes work area, 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. Click OK.

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, enter fa-psc-applications.

5. Click Submit.
