Add Package Index

Adding a package index to the load definition file in the Load Definition File editor consists of the following steps:

Step 1

The first step is to select the Package Index task in the INDEXES task bar along the left side of the load definition file editor to activate the PACKAGE INDEXES page if it isn't already activated. If the Package Index task is not enabled, be sure there is at least one package defined. To learn how to add a package see the Add Package topic.

Step 2

The second step is to select the Add Index task in the PACKAGE task bar along the right side of the PACKAGE INDEXES page:

The Edit Package Index dialog box will appear:

Step 3

The third step is to specify the Index Name for the package index being added:

The Index Name drop-down list contains a list of unique index names. Either select an index name from the list or enter your own name. Preceeding index names with an underscore ( _ ) is not required, but recommended because it allows for easy recognition when building logic templates and display templates. Proceeding the index name with an index type identifier also helps for this same reason.

The Index Name uniquely identifies each index.

Step 4

The fourth step is to enter the Resource ID for the package index being added:

The Resource ID is used internally to uniquely identify the index.

Step 5

The fifth step is to define the Index Rules for the package index being added:

Click the Edit button to open the Edit Package Index Rules dialog box.

Select the package from Package drop-down list for which this index will be defined across in the Edit Package Index Rules dialog box and click the Add button to add package to the Index Rules list.

Select the package from the Index Rules list and click the Del button to remove a package from the Index Rules.

Select the package from the Index Rules list, select a different package from the Package drop-down list and click the Edit button to change an existing entry in the Index Rules list.

The Package Index Rules allows you to specify the package for which this index will be created over.

Use the Package drop-down list to select the package across which this index will be created over.

After a package has been selected, click the Add button to add the package to the Index Rules list.

Click the OK button to close the dialog box when you have completed the index rules.

The Index Rules are added to the index:

Step 6

Since a package index is must be a primary index the Primary Index check-box is disabled and checked.

The sixth step is to click the OK button to add the index to the package index list:

The package index is added to the list. Use the check-box to the left of each index to enable and disable the index. If the check-box is checked, the index is enabled and will be processed. If the check-box is unchecked, the index is disabled and will not be processed.
