Working with full database cacheless search > Creating bounding boxes

Create bounding boxes

Set the QSEARCH_update_enabled preference to False.

Run the command:

create_or_update_bbox_and_tso -u={USER_ID} -p={PASSWORD} -g={GROUP} -translation_mode=NXBBOXTOBBOX -mode=process -object_list=%TC_TMP_DIR%\createOrUpdateBBoxAndtso_report{%ID%}_0.log

Note: You can run the command only if the product has been made indexable when using product scoped search.

Run the command create_or_update_bbox_and_tso -u={USER_ID} -p={PASSWORD} -g={GROUP} -translation_mode=NXBBOXTOBBOX -mode=query –scope=ALL -output_dir=%TC_TMP_DIR% to query all datasets of all indexable products.

Validate the bounding boxes by sending an assembly to Structure Manager, adding the Bounding Boxes column, and then expanding the assembly to a level that has geometry.

The column will be populated with the bounding box information.
