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.
