ATG Search - how to create a search project

Here I am going to explain how we can create a new ATG search project.

It involves 3 steps --> Specify the general search project settings, Specify the content of search indexing and Build the index.


Below I am elaborating the different steps involved with screen shots :

1. Go to Search Project Administration ui @  BCC and Click the button "New Search Project" to create a new search project.


2. Specify the search project name, give description and click the button "Create Search Project".


3. Click the button "Add Content" to add the search project content.


4. Specify the content name, select the content type and specify the IndexingOutputConfig path if the content type is ATG repository. Specify the remote host and port if you are using another server for fetching the content.


5. Click the content in the left side and expand the advanced option to specify the language and other customizations.



6. Click the environments in the left side and you could see the environments.You can add/remove a new Production/Staging environment.


7. Click on the Environment name to specify the host where you want to run the search engine. Here you could add more search engine hosts.


8. After you specify all these details, click on the build index button to build the search index and to complete the search project creation.

ATG Search - search engine tuning settings

In this blog, I am going to list the best tuning settings for ATG Search engine. The AESoapConfig.xml, AESoapWaspConfig.xml  and AEConfig.xml are the xmls referred below and you can find it @  <ATG_DIR>\<Searchx.x>\SearchEngine\<operating_system>\bin\ folder. (1)  Make sure that the AESoapConfig.xml's rwTimeout is less than or equal to routing's readTimeoutMs. You could find the routing's readTimeoutMs @ atg\search\routing\SearchEngineService component.               rwTimeout is the  length of time in seconds to wait before a read or write operation times out on an active connection. The number can be decreased to improve performance. However, a value that is too low could cause slow connections to be prematurely closed. (2)  Adjust the number of engine threads to match the number of CPUs available to the engine. Note that the minimal value for maxThreads and maxSpar...

Oracle has started a new ATG discussion forum on oracle discussion forums.  It has a main ATG section and is divided into technical and business categories. You can access the url   http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=503 .  After Oracle acquired ATG, this was much expected and we can hope this forum might give us a better chance to discuss our ATG doubts and more people will come and discuss about ATG.
