Configuration Files Used for Creating the SOLR Index
wc-dataimport-preprocess-aaa.xml
This file contains the create statement for the particular preprocess table, and a query for populating the data for this table.Typically on the WC server. Sample location:
[IBM]/WebSphere/CommerceServer70/instances/myInstance/search/pre-processConfig/MC_10001/DB2/
wc-data-config.xml
This file contains queries for getting data from preprocess tables (and regular WC tables if necessary) to populate the index. The query results are mapped to SOLR fields in this file.
Typically on the SOLR server. Sample location:
C:\WCSearch\search\searchInstance\search\solr\home\MC_10001\en_US\CatalogEntry\conf\
schema.xml
This file defines the SOLR field settings. Searchable, sortable SOLR fields are defined here.
Typically on the SOLR server. Sample location:
C:\WCSearch\search\searchInstance\search\solr\home\MC_10001\en_US\CatalogEntry\conf\
solrconfig.xml
This is the main SOLR configuration file.
Typically on the SOLR server. Sample location:
C:\WCSearch\search\searchInstance\search\solr\home\MC_10001\en_US\CatalogEntry\conf\
Configuration Files Used by WC to Interpret Index Data
wc-search.xml
This file contains the search profiles. Fields to sort by are defined here.
