Structure Management ─ Deployment and Administration

Configure the wild card search, the case-insensitive filtering, and the delimiter character for searching within a structure

If your Teamcenter setup has Context Management for business users and the structure is indexed using Smart Discovery Indexing, you can configure wild card search, case-insensitive filtering, and the delimiter character for searching options within a structure.

Procedure To configure wild card filtering, set the AW_Discovery_Wildcard_Filter preference to true. When set, users can use the asterisk (*) to filter the parts in the structure. To modify a delimiter character other than the default one, enter a character as a delimiter in the AW_FacetValue_Separator preference to separate the two values in the filters. For example, enter an ampersand (&) as the delimiting character to separate the two values in the filter. The delimiter character is not shown to the users in the Filter panel. The default value is caret (^). To configure the case-insensitive filtering during the wild card search, perform the following steps: In your existing project in BMIDE, set the Awp0EnableWildcardFields global constant to true. Save and then deploy the BMIDE project. In the Teamcenter command prompt, run the following commands to update the Solr schema files with new wild card fields: Copy %TC_ROOT%<solr_version>\TcSchemaToSolrSchemaTransform.bat %TC_DATA%\ftsi\solr_schema_files In the above statement, replace with the active Solr version in your environment. For example, solr-8.11.1. Reindex the structures. You can schedule reindexing on non-working days or outside of work hours, considering the size and the number of structures to be re-indexed. After the structures are re-indexed, the business users can perform case-insensitive wild card filtering on them.
