Enabling the text search feature for CONTEXT index

This script enables the text search feature on an Oracle database using the CONTEXT index.

About this task

The CONTEXT index does not automatically update text search indexes. Therefore, a DBA has to manually update text search indexes by running the EFrame_TextIndexUpdates.sql script.

To enable the text search feature on an Oracle database using the CONTEXT index:

Procedure

  1. Make sure that the Oracle database is configured with the Oracle Text feature.
  2. Log in to the Oracle server with a user ID having the CTXAPP privilege.
    Note: The CONTEXT type text search indexes that are created on Oracle database using the EFrame_TextIndexAdds.sql script are not updated automatically. The DBA has to run the EFrame_TextIndexUpdates.sql script to update the CONTEXT type text search indexes using scheduled jobs. The frequency of these scheduled jobs can be decided by the DBA.
  3. Verify that the text search index creation was successful.
  4. Edit the customer_overrides.properties file that is located in the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/ directory to add the following entries:
    
       yfs.yfs.db.textsearch=Y 
       yfs.yfs.db.textsearch.oracle.contexttype=context
