Search Index Configuration

To decide which server configurations to index, the search service reads the search configuration XML file installed under Program Files\Micro Focus\<StarTeam Server Version>\Search\config\starteam-search-configs.xml

Multiple server configurations specified in the file can be indexed simultaneously. The Server Administration Tool provides an option to enable a server configuration for indexing in one of two ways:
  • While creating a new server configuration, the first page of the wizard has an option to enable search.
  • Choose an existing server configuration in the Server Administration Tool via Actions > Configure Search. Check the Enable Search checkbox.

    Note: Search can be disabled on a configuration by un-checking Enable Search. Disabling a configuration would interrupt any indexing which was in progress and stop servicing clients from getting search results.

Note: The dialog box requires a StarTeam user with administrator privileges. The default user is Administrator, but this can be changed. The user ' s account should be validated through StarTeam Server. Users validated through directory service are not permitted to be used for starting search.

Once search is enabled on a server configuration, a new search configuration is created in the starteam-search-configs.xml file.

To exclude sandbox views, open the starteam-search-configs.xml file and update <option name="ExcludeSandboxViews" value="1"/>. 1 enables exclusion. 0 disables exclusion.

A template for the configuration file is available under the same folder.
