Optimizing global search

To optimize the performance of IBM OpenPages® global search, you can enable or disable what can be searched, tune the search settings, and change other properties in the properties file.

For more information about using global search, see Searching for objects with global search in the IBM OpenPages User Guide.

Note: This feature is not applicable in IBM OpenPages for IBM Cloud Pak for Data.
Attention:
  • Security rules and evaluating security rules decrease the performance of user operations, including global search. The more complex the rule, the more time it takes to evaluate the rule. The number of rules that are being implemented also affects performance.
  • In global search, a security rule that extends read access can increase search time for users who do not have sufficient read access for an object type. Similarly, a security rule that restricts read access can increase search time for users who do have access to that object type through role-based security.
  • Global search must be disabled before you run the OPBackup and OPRestore utilities.
