Intergrating ATG-Endeca for Indexing

Note: This is with Version ATG 10.2 onwards Only


Step : 1

You have to have your below component configured to use your PCOC file like below

/atg/commerce/search/ProductCatalogOutputConfig/

definitionFile=/atg/commerce/endeca/index/product-sku-output-config.xml

Sample file Attached:

Step : 2

Your combined definition file should be a union of below xmls(OOTB+Custom)
Source files   

\config\config.jar/atg/commerce/endeca/index/product-sku-output-config.xml
\DCS\Endeca\Index\config\config.jar/atg/commerce/endeca/index/product-sku-output-config.xml
\DCS\Endeca\Index\SKUIndexing\config\config.jar/atg/commerce/endeca/index/product-sku-output-config.xml


Step : 3

Build level changes : Add the below modules in your ANT build.properties file
for eg:
my.ear.modules=DafEar.Admin,DCS.Endeca.Index.Versioned,DCS.Endeca.Index,DAF.Endeca.Index,DAF.Endeca.Assembler,DCS.Endeca.Index.SKUIndexing

Verification :  Once your build is up, you should be able to see this componenet via dyn/admin
http://mylocalserver:7001/dyn/admin/nucleus/atg/commerce/endeca/index/ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin/

Step : 4

Make these config layer changes.Override bases on your environments.

/atg/endeca/ApplicationConfiguration
baseApplicationName: myendecaapp
keyToApplicationName: default=myendecaapp,en=myendecaapp
workbenchHostName: myendeca.envr.server.name.com
workbenchPort: 8006

/atg/endeca/index/IndexingApplicationConfiguration
CAS Hostname: myendeca.envr.server.name.com
CAS Port: 8500

EAC Hostname: myendeca.envr.server.name.com
EAC Port: 8888

/atg/endeca/assembler/AssemblerApplicationConfiguration
currentMdexHostName: myendeca.envr.server.name.com
currentMdexPort: 16000

defaultMdexHostName: myendeca.envr.server.name.com
defaultMdexPort: 16000
applicationKeyToMdexHostAndPort: en= myendeca.envr.server.name.com:16000


Step 5: (Optional)

If you are setting up your endeca indexing from your BCC instance, you need to override the below component

Set the OnPubServer flag to false for the following components

/atg/commerce/search/ProductCatalogOutputConfig
/atg/commerce/endeca/index/CategoryToDimensionOutputConfig


Step 6:

Triggering Indexing from Dyn Admin:

Navigate : http://mylocalserver:7001/dyn/admin/nucleus/atg/commerce/endeca/index/ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin/

Trigger the BaseLine Index Button.Watch your ATG logs for issues.
