Open the Index Definition document for a docbase

To create, modify, and delete indexes for a docbase, you must edit the Index Definition document, which defines all indexes for that docbase.

To open an Index Definition document:

  1. Start the Administration Console.
  2. Connect to the server and the docbase.
  3. Expand the docbase node to display the Index Definition branch.
  4. Right-click Index Definition and select Lock.

    By locking the document, you are preventing any other person or process from making changes to the document until you check it back in.

  5. Double-click Index Definition.

    The document will open as indexdefinition.xml in the Administration Console. Figure 1 shows the Index Definition document for SampleNewsDocbase:
