1.1.3.4.1. Function overview

Open

Via Start -> Programs -> CADENAS -> PARTsolutions -> PARTadmin

Within PARTadmin select the Index administration under Category.

Basic function

  • In order for the PARTsolutions module PARTdataManager to be able to find and display individual parts, the directory and/or file pointers are necessary.

  • These pointers, in the form of search index files are pre-generated for catalog delivery.

  • The visible result is the directory tree in the PARTdataManager (see image at right).

[Note] Note

The following display corresponds to the functionality in Admin mode.

Information concerning the user mode in general can be found in the information concerning the status row.

Special information about index administration in user mode can be found under Section 1.1.3.4.6, “ Index administration at the client computer and/or in user mode ”.

When is the Index administration needed?

Specific changes within PARTsolutions:

  • The storage location of the library directory (%CADENAS_DATA%) has been changed

  • Drives have been changed

  • Project file directories have been moved

  • Newly applied catalogs or catalog elements should be inserted into the directory tree.

  • Not (or no longer) needed components should be hidden in the directory tree.

  • Older versions of newly installed and/or changed catalogs should be deleted or original files (backup files) should be created from current catalogs.

  • Catalogs should be uninstalled.

Important information

  • Language selection

    The search index is created for all available catalog languages. A language selection in index administration is thus no longer necessary.[4]

  • Full-text search

    Per catalog only one full-text search index exists that manages all languages in a file.

  • Pre-generated index

    Normally delivered catalogs contain a pre-generated index for the Full-text search and the Geometric search.

  • Progress display for index updating

    The completed actions run in the background and are processed in a list. In other words, you can start several actions successively.



[4] The language selection for the user interface of all modules is only possible via the Category PARTsolutions.
