i am trying to add all the extended attributes for all the DCRs that we have.. we have a number of date fields there
i got confused after reading the admin manual page 167 here is what it says
If the fieldType element is an int, float, or date, then the fieldStorage
element should respectively be one of CustomInt1 through CustomInt5,
CustomFloat1 through CustomFloat5, or CustomDate1 through CustomDate5.
This entry should be unique across all fieldStorage entries in the
FieldMapping.xml and StandardFields.xml files.
|
does that mean we can only have up to five CustomDate fields and only named CustomDate1, CustomDate2.. etc ??? ... i would really appreciate some clarification here ..
second : the manual is confusing in specifying the process that we should go through when adding a new field in in FieldsMapping.xml
here is what it says in the manual
If you make changes such as adding another attribute to the FieldMapping.xml file, you
need to force the index manager to re-index all the files. Use the iwndxpurgebr CLT to
remove the collection; then add the branch to the index again.
|
i did that yesterday and i run into all kind of issues starting of the branch disappearing to the index server stopping and not starting again .. to having to clear the index server collection ..
i would really appreciate if some one has done thing before to put the steps that he/she used to go through this process
thanks in advance and appreciate ur help
