Verifying the IBM Content Search Services upgrade

You can verify that the IBM Content Search Services upgrade was successful by using Administration Console for Content Platform Engine to create a search index job and checking to see whether the job returns the correct index objects.

To verify the IBM Content Search Services upgrade:

1. Start Administration Console for Content Platform Engine if you did not already do so:
   1. On any computer, open a browser and navigate to the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine logon page:
      • In a standard availability environment, the logon page is at http://CPE_Server:port/acce. CPE_Server is the name of the system where Content Platform Engine is deployed. port is the HTTP port that is used by the application server where Content Platform Engine is deployed.
      • In a high availability environment, the logon page is at http://virtual_server:port/acce. virtual_server is the name of the load balancer or proxy server where the clusters of Content Platform Engine is deployed. port is the port number of the load balancer or proxy server.
   2. Log on as the gcd_admin user.
2. Open a folder that contains a document that contains text that you will search on later.
   If you do not have such a document, you can create one for the purposes of this test, and then delete it later. Make sure that the account you logged on as has at least the View content access level to the document, since the security check performed on a query is done using the access rights of the documents that are found by the query.
3. On the Document tab, click Actions and select Index > Index for Content Search. A notice indicates that a content search index job was created successfully.
4. Click the object store node for the document that you set to index for content search and select the Index Jobs Manager node in the tree.
5. In the Index Jobs Manager, check that the Job Status indicates that the job ended normally.
   Depending on the size of the indexing job, it might take a few minutes for the indexing job to complete. If the Job Status indicates that the indexing is in progress, wait a few minutes to give the job time to complete. If the Job Status does not indicate progress, check the p8_server_error.log file on the application server.
6. Click the Search node and select New Object Store Search.
7. Select SQL View.
8. Remove the default query text in the SQL Text field.
9. In the SQL Text field, enter the following query and click OK:

   SELECT d.This FROM your_class_name d 
   INNER JOIN ContentSearch c
   ON d.This = c.QueriedObject
   WHERE CONTAINS(d.*, 'your_search_string')

10. In the Search Results tab, verify that objects are returned for your search.
