Enabling dual mode indexing

Enable dual mode indexing by adding an Elasticsearch index area to an object store that is already configured with Content Search Services index areas.

1. Log in to the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine as an administrator.
2. Verify that an Elasticsearch cluster is added to the domain.
   If an Elasticsearch cluster is not yet configured, you must add one before proceeding. For more information, see Configuring Content Platform Engine to use Elasticsearch.
   The Elasticsearch cluster is available for use with object stores in the domain.
3. Navigate to the object store where you want to enable dual mode indexing.
4. Verify the current indexing mode status.
   1. In the object store navigation tree, select Data Design > Indexes > Text Search.
   2. Verify that the Dual mode indexing is enabled checkbox is unchecked.
      This read-only checkbox remains unchecked until you add an Elasticsearch index area. The checkbox automatically becomes checked when index areas for both Content Search Services and Elasticsearch are present in the object store.
5. Add an Elasticsearch index area to the object store.
   1. In the object store navigation tree, expand Data Design > Indexes > Index Areas.
   2. Right-click Elasticsearch and select New Index Area.
   3. In the New Index Area wizard, select the Elasticsearch cluster that you want to use.
   4. Configure the index area properties, including the index name and settings.
      Configure the Elasticsearch index area in the same manner as you would for single mode Elasticsearch indexing.
   5. Complete the wizard to create the index area.
   The Elasticsearch index area is created and associated with the object store. Dual mode indexing is automatically enabled.
6. Verify that dual mode indexing is enabled.
   1. Return to Data Design > Indexes > Text Search.
   2. Verify that the Dual mode indexing is enabled checkbox is now checked.
      This checkbox is automatically checked when both Content Search Services and Elasticsearch index areas are present in the object store.
   The object store is now in dual mode. All newly ingested content is automatically indexed to both Content Search Services and Elasticsearch.
7. Select a language analyzer for Elasticsearch.
   You must select a text analyzer to finalize the dual mode configuration.
   1. On the Text Search page, locate the Elasticsearch language analyzer settings.
   2. Select the appropriate language analyzer for your content.
      The analyzer determines how Elasticsearch processes and indexes text content.
   3. Save the configuration.
   The dual mode configuration is complete. The object store indexes new content to both search engines.
