SearchService commands
The SearchService commands are used to create, retrieve, update, and delete scheduled task definitions for the indexing and optimization Search operations.
SearchService commands
Use the following MBean commands to perform Search administrative tasks. The commands are listed in alphabetical order.To use the commands, you must first initialize the Search configuration environment. For more information, see Accessing the Search configuration environment.

- schedule. The time at which the scheduled task starts. This argument is a string value that must be specified in Cron format.
- startBy. The time that is given to a task to fire before it is automatically canceled. This argument is a string value that must be specified in Cron format.
- applicationNames. The name (or names) of the HCL Connections application to be indexed when
the task is triggered. This argument is a string value. To index multiple
applications, use a comma-delimited list. The following values are
valid:
- ecm_files - retrieves files from the Enterprise Content Management repository. Only published files are retrieved; draft files are not included.
- files - retrieves files from the Files app.
- wikis - retrieves files from the Wikis app.
- activities - retrieves files from the Activities app.
- forums - retrieves files from the Forums app.
- all_configured. Indicates that the operation is performed on all applications.
- failuresOnly. Indicates that only the content of files for which the download and conversion tasks failed are retrieved. This argument is a Boolean.
For example:SearchService.addFileContentTask("mine", "0 0 1 ? * MON-FRI", "0 10 1 ? * MON-FRI", "wikis,files","true") SearchService.addFileContentTask("mine", "0 0 1 ? * MON-FRI", "0 10 1 ? * MON-FRI", "all_configured","true"
When the command runs successfully, 1 is printed to the wsadmin console. If the command does not run successfully, 0 is printed to the wsadmin console.
You can also use the SearchService.addFileContentTask command to replace the task definition for the default 20min-file-retrieval-task. By default, this task runs every 20 minutes, except for a one-hour period between 01:00 and 02:00. To replace the default task settings, first remove the existing task with the SearchService.deleteTask(String taskName) command. Then, use the SearchService.addFileContentTask to create a new task with the values that you specify.
For example:SearchService.deleteTask("20min-file-retrieval-task") SearchService.addFileContentTask("20min-file-retrieval-task", "0 1/20 0,2-23 * * ?", "0 10/20 0,2-23 * * ?", "all_configured", "false")
- SearchService.addFileContentIndexingTask(String taskName, String schedule, String startBy, String applicationNames, String all_configured, Integer, duration)
-
Creates a scheduled file content indexing task. The file content indexing task iterates through the list of files whose content has not been indexed yet. This list can contain just a few elements, in which case the task executes quickly. In some cases there could be a large backlog of unprocessed files. You can limit the execution time of the task using the duration argument; any remaining files are processed in the next execution of the task.
This command takes the following arguments:- taskName. The name of the scheduled task. This argument is a string value, which must be unique.

- SearchService.setGlobalSandIntegerProperty(String propertyName, String integerProperyValue)
Adds or updates a dynamic global social analytics property that affects the social analytics API or indexing behavior. The changes take place when the next social analytics indexing job starts.
When the property is successfully added or updated, 1 is printed to the wsadmin console. If the property is not successfully added or updated, then you will see 0 printed to the wsadmin console. If this happens, contact the Search Cluster Administration and check the SystemOut.log file for more details.
Currently, support is provided only for the sand.tag.freq.threshold social analytics property. This property takes an integer value.
The property is used by the Recommend API algorithm as follows:- Get the people and tags to which the user is related.
- If the tag has a frequency in the Search index that is greater than or equal to the value specified for the sand.tag.freq.threshold property, discard it. This action prevents users from getting recommendations based on common tags, that is, tags that have a high frequency.
- Get the documents with which the people and tags gathered in the first query are associated.
- Return the results to the user.
SearchService.setGlobalSandIntegerProperty("sand.tag.freq.threshold",100)
Notes:- This setting is global and will affect all HCL Connections users. The setting should only be changed by an administrator.
- You can consult the SystemOut.log file when
social analytics indexing begins to check the frequency distribution
of the most popular 100 tags in the system. For example, in line 1 of the following extract, you can see that the tag brown has ordinal 1718 in the index (an ordinal is a facet identifier) and that it has a frequency of 1, which means that there is only one instance of a document being tagged with the keyword brown in the index.
