Configure the Process Center index
You can configure the indexing process to automatically update the index on a preset schedule. You can also set the index location, and you can disable indexing altogether.
To change the Process Center index update interval, or to disable indexing, create or edit the 100Custom.xml file that is located in the following directory:
For a UNIX or Linux operating system: <process_center_profile>/config/cells/<Cell>/nodes/<node>/servers/<server>/process-server/config/system
For a Windows operating system: <process_center_profile>\config\cells\<Cell>\nodes\<node>\servers\<server>\process-server\config\system
Add or edit the following code snippet as needed:
<search-index merge="replace"> <artifact-index-enabled>true</artifact-index-enabled> <artifact-index-update-interval>60</artifact-index-update-interval> </search-index>
- Setting the update interval
- To set an update interval, reconfigure this line: <artifact-index-update-interval>60</artifact-index-update-interval>.
- The update is set in seconds. Change the number "60" to the number of seconds for the interval at which the Process Center index will perform an update.
The minimum update interval is 30 seconds. If you attempt to set a value of less than 30, the index defaults to 30 seconds.
- Disabling the index
- To disable indexing, reconfigure this line: <artifact-index-enabled>true</artifact-index-enabled>.
- A value of false stops reindexing. If the index does not exist, it will not be created. A value of true means that reindexing does occur at the specified interval. If the index does not exist, it is created.
Setting the index location
To change the Process Center index location, log in to the administrative console and select Environment > WebSphere Variables.
- Setting the location for a cluster server
- Edit the BPM_SEARCH_ARTIFACT_INDEX variable. For a cluster member, set the scope to the cluster level. The default is $<BPM_SEARCH_ARTIFACT_INDEX_ROOT>/<clusterName>
- Setting the location for a stand-alone server
- For a stand-alone server, set the scope to the cell level. The default is $<BPM_SEARCH_ARTIFACT_INDEX_ROOT>/$<WAS_SERVER_NAME>. If the variable is not set, the location defaults to $<USER_INSTALL_ROOT>/searchIndex/artifact/$<WAS_SERVER_NAME>.
