ATG Search Indexing - overview of different steps in search indexing

Read more about the search indexing behind the scene steps @ http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.in/2011/12/atg-search-indexing-behind-scene-steps.html ATG Search prepares searchable content by indexing the products specified in the XML definition file (/atg/commerce/search/ProductCatalogOutputConfig). Generally there are two types of indexing 1. Full Indexing --> all data taken for indexing 2. Incremental Indexing --> only changed data will be taken for indexing When full indexing is triggered, following happens: 1.

ATG CA - BCC home screen : how to add a new link

Activity source is the property which controls the links on the left nav on the BCC home screen. All activity sources are registered with the ActivityManager component at /atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager .

ATG search and Monitoring the request and response

To get an idea of the SearchEngineActivity logs, please read the blog : http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2012/01/atg-search-and-search-engine-activity.html Other than using the SearchEngineActivity logs, we could monitor the search engine request/reponse by enabling the monitoring in the SearchEngineService component @ /dyn/admin/nucleus/atg/search/routing/SearchEngineService. Once you enable this "monitoringEnabled", each request/response and the response time like last response time and average response time can be found @ SearchEngineService component. After you send a request to the search engine, just refresh the SearchEngineService component and you could see that the total command count will be incremented by one and the response time also get updated. If you click this total command count, a new window will be opened with the request and response details.
