Overview of managing structure indexes

Understand how to manage structure indexes, how indexes are created and maintained in Teamcenter. To manage a given structure index, it first must be created using the bomindex_admin utility with the -function=create option. Once the product configuration is created, the TcFTSIndexer service automatically maintains the indexes keeping them synchronized with the Teamcenter data that defines the structure. The index is synchronized periodically based on the interval the synchronization operation runs using the following runTcFTSIndexer utility command: Copy runTcFTSIndexer -task=structure:sync -interval=seconds Once the product configuration is no longer needed, the bomindex_admin utility is used to mark the product configuration for deletion using the -function=delete option. On the next synchronization interval, the TcFTSIndexer process deletes the indexes and then finally deletes the associated BOMIndexAdminData object that defined the product configuration.
