Generating search results with a background search sweep

Based on a search template, a sweep is created to generate search results in the background.

Before you begin

View a demo: To view a short video that shows how to configure background searches and then create reports and charts to show the results, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBS7YIBodVo.
Create the appropriate template. (Or request your administrator to create a template). For information about creating templates, see Creating background search queries.

Procedure

To generate background search results:

  1. Start the wizard in the administration console:
    1. In the domain navigation pane, select the object store.
    2. In the object store navigation pane, expand the Data Design > Background Search Class Templates folder.
    3. Under that folder, select a background search template. The appropriate template to select can be determined based on the display name, description, or search expression.
    4. In that tab that opens for the template, click Actions > Start. A wizard for the new sweep opens.
  2. Complete the wizard:
    1. Enter values for the parameters. (If the template does not have any parameter variables, you are not prompted for values.)
    2. Optional: Select the Enable background search sweep property to enable the sweep. (The sweep cannot run unless it is enabled.)
    3. Optional: For query testing purposes, enter a value into the Maximum examined object count property to limit the number of search results.
  3. Optional: Opening a background search sweep. If you did not configure the sweep to start immediately, you can change when the sweep runs or make other alterations.
  4. Optional: Monitor the progress of the sweep. For information about sweep monitoring, see Sweep iteration progress monitoring.
