Enable Search Extension Framework

Enable the search extension framework to create indexes, ingest predefined indexes, perform bulk ingest, and manage search capabilities.

  • Make sure the Enable/Disable Search Ext Framework (ORA_FND_SEARCH_EXT_ENABLED) profile option is set to Yes. By default, this functionality is enabled and can't be edited.

  • Make sure that you have the Manage Scheduled Job Definition (FND_MANAGE_SCHEDULED_JOB_DEFINITION_PRIV) privilege to run scheduled processes.

  • Submit the ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS process for creating indexes and ingesting predefined indexes.
    Note: This job shouldn't be performed on a regular or scheduled basis.
  • Submit the ESS job to run Bulk ingest to OSCS process for ingesting bulk data to Oracle Search indexes.

Note: If you don't specify any index names while submitting the process, the process will run for all predefined indexes. We recommend you to create indexes related to your product family only. Refer to the product-specific documentation to determine the index names for your product family.
