Modifying Hidden Oracle Knowledge Source Parameters

The Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool present the parameters with which you can configure the connector for most Oracle Knowledge setups. More advanced and more rarely used parameters are hidden. You can choose to make one or more of these parameters appear in the Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool so that you can change their default value. Consider changing values of hidden parameters when you encounter issues.

The following list describes the advanced hidden parameters available with Oracle Knowledge sources. The parameter type (integer, string…) appears between parentheses following the parameter name.

DiscussionBoardCrawlerWebServiceUrl (String)

The URL to the discussion board hidden crawler. Auto-filled with the starting address. The default and recommended value is http://MyOracleKnowlegeServer:8086/InfoManager/WebObjects/InfoManager.woa/ws/DiscussionBoardCrawler.

ClientAPIWebServiceUrl (String)

The URL to the client API web service. The default and recommended value is http://MyOracleKnowlegeServer:8086/.

Note: The connector auto-filled the value with imws/WebObjects/imws.woa/ws/RequestProcessor.

Locales (String)

The specific languages of the content to index, separated by semi-colons i.e.: en_US;fr_FR. The default value is null, meaning that the connector indexes all locales.

Example: When you only want to index English documents, enter en_US .

ItemTypesToIgnore (String)

The type of Oracle Knowledge items to ignore while indexing, separated by semi-colons. The default value is null, meaning that the connector indexes all item types. Possible values are: Channel, ContentRecord, ContentRecordAttachment, DBForum, DBMessage, DPTopic, DiscussionBoard and Repository.

ChannelReferenceKeys (String) CES 7.0.7338+ (January 2015)

The Oracle Knowledge channels to index, identified by their reference keys and separated by semi-colons. The default value is null, meaning that the connector indexes all channels.
