Full-text search configuration
You must complete a set of configuration tasks before enabling
full-text search for ClearQuest Web.
- Establishing the location of the index
The first step in configuring Solr is to establish the location
of the Lucene index.
- Setup files creation and configuration
Create and configure the full-text search setup files.
- Configuring the fields for Solr to index
Update the Solr schema file schema.xml to specify the fields for
Solr to index.
- Administrator password encryption
When you run the full-text search record extractor, cqperl
cqtsdbcrawler.pl, from the command line in batch, update, optimize,
or repair mode, the ClearQuest search properties file, CQ-db_name-dbset_name.xml,
is required as an input parameter. The search properties file contains the
administrator password to the user database. Because the search properties
file is stored both on the hard drive and in the user database, the administrator
password should be protected. You do this by using the record extractor to
encrypt the password.
- Enabling full-text search for ClearQuest Web
Now you are ready to enable the ClearQuest full-text search feature.
- Securing the Solr Administrative console
Configure secure access to the Solr Administrative console.
- Existing database upgrade to use full-text search
The tasks described in this section are necessary only if you have
an existing user database that you are upgrading to use the ClearQuest full-text
search feature. Go to the next section of the help if you are creating a new
user database.
- Configuring continuous indexing
Enable the update-mode record extractor to provide
continuous ClearQuest record updates to the Lucene index.
- Monitoring Solr
Use the Solr Administrative console to verify if Solr is running;
obtain comprehensive statistics on cache utilization, updates, and queries;
access the text analysis debugger; and obtain Solr documentation.
