Working with full database cacheless search

Populating the queue

After you create the bounding boxes you populate the queue. The queue entries are Very Large Arrays (VLA) and contain the item, the occurrence thread, or the appearance path node that is related to the particular CAD geometry that the bounding box represents.

Before you process any updates, ensure the following:

  • TC_KEEP_SYSTEM_LOG environment variable is Yes.
  • QSEARCH_update_enabled preference is True.
  • QSEARCH_foreground_processing_halted preference is True.
  • QSEARCH_force_simplify_to_one_box preference is True.
  • Set a temporary directory, for example, TC_TMP_DIR=C:\temp\create_bbox_uids.

Note: Populating the queue generates entries into the PQSEARCHINDEXUPDATEENTRY table for each bounding box.
