Selecting catalogs for indexing

You need to index the data in IBM® Product Master business catalogs to make it available for free-text search.

In the IBM Product Master environment, all catalogs are not business catalogs. Generally, only data from business catalogs is required to be available for free-text search. To be available for free text search, data from these catalogs must be indexed on Watson Data Explorer. To select the catalogs for indexing, select the Exclude from Free Text Search check box on the catalog attributes page. This check box is selected by default and displayed on the catalog attributes page, if the enable_de_search property in the $TOP/etc/default/common.properties file is set to True. By selecting only the required catalogs for indexing, data that is populated on IBM Data Explorer Collections is also reduced.
