Along with the Web Tools, an index engine for indexing XML documents in the WebDAV store (document store) is also installed. Before you can use the index engine effectively with the WebDAV GUI tool, you need to configure it with information on the database instance you are using.
1. Complete the entries for the index engine that the system made in the Registry (Microsoft Windows) or the file sapdbxie.ini (UNIX) during the installation. To edit these entries, proceed as follows:
¡
On Microsoft
Windows operating systems, open the registry path
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP\SAP DBTech\XIE\default
¡
On UNIX
operating systems, open the file
/usr/spool/sql/ini/sapdbxie.ini and search for the
[SAPDBXIE
]
section
You see the following entries:
Description=WebDAV Asynchronous Indexing
EngineNode=<web_server>
IndexingLibraryDescription=WebDAV Asynchronous Indexing Service
IndexingLibraryFile=<independent_program_path>/web/pgm/sapdbxis
IndexingLibraryVersion=<version>
IndexingServiceName=MediaStore
LogFilename=<log_path>/sapdbxie.log
MaxThreads=10
RegistryName=WebDAV
RegistryNode=
RegistryPassword=DBA
RegistryTraceFilename=
RegistryUser=DBA
For information on the meaning of the variables, see Variables Used.
2. Under IndexingServiceName, specify the indexing service definitions that you want the index engine to work with.
3. Under RegistryName, RegistryNode, RegistryPassword and RegistryUser, enter the connection parameters to the database instance that you are using as the WebDAV store. Enter the following information:
RegistryName |
Name of the database instance |
RegistryNode |
Name of the host on which the database instance is installed You do not need to enter anything here if your database instance is installed locally. |
RegistryPassword |
Password of the database user |
RegistryUser |
Name of the database user |
4. Close the Registry or the registration file.
5.
Now register the
index engine in the specified database instance by entering the following
command in the command line:
sapdbxie –i
<registration_name>
You have set up and registered a fully functioning index engine. You can use the WebDAV GUI to monitor the registered index engines, navigate simply through the document store, index XML documents, and search for indexed documents.
