Overview of Development & Deployment of Search Domains

Development

A quick overview of development process is described here. Details can be found in the Foundation1 Development Guide

• Model your business object's entities
• Model your Search Domain
  This means saving meta data about the Search Domain in IFS Developer Studio
• Add a new VARCHAR2 column to the LU table and views. Recommended name is TEXT_ID$.
• Generate code
• Deploy Search Domain package into database
  This means creating Search Domain PL/SQL package and saving meta data about the Search Domain in Foundation1 runtime tables
• Enable the Search Domain in Solution Manager
  Creates a background job for creation of Oracle Text index, it also creates triggers for keeping the index synchronized
• Test your Search Domain using IFS Enterprise Explorer

Code Generation

During code generation one PL/SQL package is created which is dependent on the meta data in IFS Developer Studio. At the same time, Foundation1 runtime meta data is created. This meta data will be registered when deploying the Search Domain.

Deploying

The PL/SQL package and Foundation1 Search Domain meta data is deployed into the database by running the api and apy file created during code generation.
