Index into a Content Component

To index documents into a Content component

  1. Check that CFS is authorized to index documents. In the Content component configuration file, CFS must belong to an authorization role that includes the admin, query, and index standard roles.
  2. Stop CFS.
  3. Open the CFS configuration file.
  4. In the [Indexing] section, use the IndexerSections parameter to specify the names of the sections that contain indexing settings. If this parameter is already set, add the name of the new indexer to the list. For example:

    [Indexing]
    IndexerSections=ContentComponent
  5. Create a new section in the CFS configuration file, with the same name that you specified in the IndexerSections parameter. In the new section, set the following parameters:

    Host The host name or IP address of the Content component.
    Port The ACI Port of the Content component.
    DefaultDatabaseName The name of the database to index a document into when the DREDBNAME document field is not set.
    SSLConfig (Optional) The name of a section in the CFS configuration file that contains SSL settings for connecting to the Content component. Set this parameter if your Content component has been configured to accept connections over SSL. For more information about the configuration parameters you can use to configure SSL connections, refer to the Connector Framework Server Reference.
    CreateDatabase (Optional, default false) Specifies whether Content should create databases that do not already exist. For example, if you set this parameter to TRUE and the database specified in a DREDBNAME document field does not exist, Content will create it.

    For example:

    [ContentComponent]
    Host=content
    Port=9000
    DefaultDatabaseName=News
    SSLConfig=SSLOptions
    
    [SSLOptions]
    SSLMethod=NEGOTIATE

    For more information about these parameters and other parameters that you can set to customize the indexing process, refer to the Connector Framework Server Reference.

  6. Save and close the configuration file.
