Building Search Indexes

After deploying the delivered search definitions and categories, you must build search index for each search definition. If you deploy any custom search definitions and categories, you must also build search indexes for these custom search definitions. These search indexes provide search functionality through the Global Search and the feature-based search pages.

To build a PeopleSoft Interaction Hub search index:

  1. Select Portal Administration > Search Administration > Search Administration WorkCenter.

  2. On the Build Search Index pagelet, click a search category for which you want to build an index. As an example, click the Blogs link.

    The Build Search Index page appears in the target content area. The Run Control ID and the Search Definition fields are populated with values associated with the selected search category.

    Note: The delivered run controls must not be modified, so you cannot change the Indexing Type and the Language Option. To modify these options, you have to create new run controls.

  3. Click Run.

  4. Use Process Monitor to verify program completion and success.

  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to build search indexes for search categories as needed.
