Configure the Autonomy Index

The following section describes how to configure the Autonomy Index.

Set the Worker Jar

When you click Create Index, a single property is displayed: WorkerJarFile. Set this property to the full path of the worker JAR (Path\AutonomyIndexWorker.Version.jar), and then click Save.

After you have updated this property, the other properties are loaded from the worker jar and set to their default values.

To view these additional properties, navigate away from the Properties page and then navigate back to it.

Set Additional Properties

You can send documents for ingestion in three ways:

Having created the Index, you should display the saved properties. Or to change settings for any index, go to Index Administration and select the index from the list.

The additional Autonomy Index settings are listed at the bottom of the list of properties and can be modified and saved.

Parameter Description
BatchSize The maximum number of documents to send to CFS in a single request.
CFSDataPort The data port of the CFS. If this parameter is set, files are transferred to CFS using the data port.
CFSDataPortCloseBatch

Set this parameter to true to close the data ports used to transfer files to CFS after the AutonomyIndex has processed a set of documents from NetWeaver. This parameter has an effect only when CFSDataPort is set.

Set this parameter to false to keep the ports open. Keeping the ports open might improve performance, but can also result in there being too many connections to CFS at once (depending on the number of Autonomy Indexes that you have set up, and how many nodes there are in your cluster).

CFSDataPortConnections The number of simultaneous connections each AutonomyIndex must open for transferring files to CFS. Each AutonomyIndex can also open a data port for deleting transferred files if ingestion fails, so it opens a maximum of CFSDataPortConnections + 1 connections to the CFS data port.
CFSEnableContentTransfer A Boolean that specifies whether to retrieve files from the SAP NetWeaver repository and send them to CFS so that CFS can populate the document content. To retrieve files, set this property to true. To retrieve only metadata, set this property to false.
CFSHost The host name or IP address of the Connector Framework Server. The default is localhost.
CFSPort The ACI port of the Connector Framework Server. The default is 7000.
CFSTempDirectory The location to temporarily write the documents for index. Set this property if you want to transfer files to CFS using a common file path. This property is not set by default and the path must be accessible by both the portal application and the Connector Framework Server. Do not set this parameter if you want to transfer the files over ACI or using the data port.
CFSTimeout The maximum amount of time to wait for a response when sending ingest commands to CFS. If the timeout is reached and the number of SendTries is reached, the documents are marked as failed. Netweaver will attempt to resend the documents later.
EnableDeletions Set this parameter to true to alert CFS of documents deleted from NetWeaver and update the index. Set this parameter to false to ignore documents that were deleted from NetWeaver.
FieldNName, FieldNValue The name and value of a fixed field that must be added to every document indexed. N must be an integer value, starting at 0.
IndexAllProperties Set this parameter to false if you want to add only indexable properties of NetWeaver documents to metadata of the documents sent to CFS. Set this parameter to true to add all properties.
IndexContentOfExternalLink

Set this to true to retrieve contents from a link target when an external link is indexed. The content in the link target is used as the document content.

CAUTION When you set this property to true, note the following security points:

  • The contents of the external link are retrieved using the credentials of the user running NetWeaver, but the ACL for the indexed document is the ACL of the link. Anyone with permission to view the link is treated as having permission to view the link target.
  • Any links that use the file: protocol are considered links to files on the server, and are also retrieved using the credentials of the user running NetWeaver.
IndexDatabase The name of the IDOL database to hold the index. This defaults to the Index ID as set above - see Create a New Autonomy Index.
InterObjectDelay The number of milliseconds to wait between processing documents.
ReferenceFilterResourceFile This property must be left blank.
ReferenceFilterUntilDate A date. This property is ignored unless ReferenceFilterResourceFile is set.
SendTries

The number of times to retry sending to CFS.

NetWeaver might also retry failed documents.
