Verifying the setup

Verify if Smart Discovery Indexing is set up correctly using Teamcenter Command Prompt

After performing all tasks of the Smart Discovery Indexing setup process, perform the following tasks to verify that indexing is set up correctly:

Task Action
Run Active Workspace indexing service In Services, check if the status is Running. Else, start the service.
Run TcFTSIndexer Start TcFTSIndexer as a service: TC_ROOT/TcFTSIndexer/bin/runTcFTSIndexer -background
Enable Smart Discovery Indexing TC_ROOT/bin/smart_discovery_index -u=<user_id> -p=<password> -g=<group> -enable (this is a one-time activity)
Start object indexing TC_ROOT/TcFTSIndexer/bin/runTcFTSIndexer -task=objdata:sync -interval=<time_interval_in_seconds>
Start Smart Discovery index synchronization TC_ROOT/TcFTSIndexer/bin/runTcFTSIndexer -task=discovery:sync -interval=<time_interval_in_seconds> — this recurring task initially populates the Smart Discovery index in Solr and then regularly updates it in both Solr and Teamcenter.
Perform a basic test to ensure that the global search index is set up correctly TC_ROOT/TcFTSIndexer/bin/runTcFTSIndexer -task=objdata:test
Perform a basic test to ensure that TcFTSIndexer and Smart Discovery Indexing are set up correctly TC_ROOT/TcFTSIndexer/bin/runTcFTSIndexer -task=discovery:test
Create Smart Discovery index TC_ROOT/bin/smart_discovery_index -u=<user_id> -p=<password> -g=<group> -create -product=<product_item_id> (for structures with Multi-Field Key (MFK): smart_discovery_index -u=<user_id> -p=<password> -g=<group> -create -product=%#MFK#%,=item_id=<product_item_id>,object_type=<item_or_its_sub_type>)
Inspect the Smart Discovery index creation status TC_ROOT/bin/smart_discovery_index -u=<user_id> -p=<password> -g=<group> -inspect
View how many structures are indexed TC_ROOT/bin/smart_discovery_index -u=<user_id> -p=<password> -g=<group> -list — the indexed structures (items) are included in the Available list.
View the Smart Discovery indexed structure on Active Workspace Open the top node of the structure and verify if Filter is displayed.
Perform a spatial search on Active Workspace Ensure that you have generated bounding boxes and TruShape files for structures in order to perform a spatial search.
Perform a volume search on Active Workspace Ensure that you have created RDV box zone forms for products in order to perform a volume search.
