Edit criterion in advanced search cluster strategies

jmeabe

Hi!

I'm customizing the advanced search cluster strategies, and by now I've been able to show new cluster strategies based on attributes of the search results, such as the object_name or i_cabinet_id. But the next thing I want to get is a cluster strategy based on an attribute of a related type. I mean, for example, instead of defining a cluster strategy based on the i_cabinet_id of the results, define one based on the name of the cabinet whose cabinet_id is the one of the result object types. Of course, if I define a strategy with <criterion>object_name</criterion> the strategy will be based on the object_name of the results, but what I want is the name of their cabinets. Is it possible to include a query inside the criterion tag? if not, what should I do?

Thanks in advance!!

Hello,

The name of the cabinet is not available in the results returned by the advanced search component, so it is not available for the clusters.

Some customization is required to add it to the result set first, before you can add it to the clusters. Beware that depending on your repository, collecting this information can have a serious performance impact on the query.

You can create a DFC search filter to customize the search service: run a query to collect the cabinet name from the result, and add the cabinet name as a result attribute.

Refer to the EMC® Documentum® System Search Development Guide, and the DFC javadoc.
