Configuring CBR to support searching in the TCM application

For information on content-based retrieval (CBR) indexes, see About CBR indexes.

Before users can use the search features in the TCM application, the system administrator must configure the Collaboration object store for content-based retrieval (CBR), in the same way as any other object store would be configured for CBR. Following is a summary of the steps involved in configuring the Collaboration object store for CBR. Click on the link for more information.

  1. Prepare the Collaboration object store as instructed in Prepare an object store for CBR.
  2. If necessary, enable searches in different languages. See Specify CBR language.
  3. Configure the Collaboration object store. See Configure an object store for CBR.
  4. See Configure document and annotation properties for CBR to select the properties to index. Specifically, do the following for the Collaboration object store:
    1. Select Task menu then select Property Level Indexing.
    2. Double-click on the following properties to enable them:
      • DocumentTitle (on the main Document class)
      • CollaborationDescription (on CollaborationTask, among others)
      • Agenda (on the CollaborationMeetingProxyDocument class)
  5. Reindex the Collaboration object store. See Reindex a content store.

During the configuration you will see a message indicating that indexing is taking place in the background. If you are configuring an existing collaboration-enabled object store, there may be a delay before documents will appear in a query.
