Which configuration file is used to define which objects and properties to index?

The indexing database configuration file is essential for defining the specific objects and properties that should be indexed within the Teamcenter environment. This configuration file allows administrators to control what data is extracted and stored in the index, which in turn enables efficient searching and retrieval of information when users perform queries.

Indexing is a critical component of data management as it influences how quickly and accurately users can access required information. By specifying the objects—such as parts, documents, or other business objects—and their corresponding properties that need to be indexed, this configuration file ensures that only relevant data is included in the indexing process.

The other options focus on different aspects of the Teamcenter architecture. For example, the object schema file typically defines the structure of various business objects, including their attributes and relationships, rather than specifically what to index. The property configuration file might be used to detail the characteristics or behaviors of properties but does not specifically govern which of them will be indexed. Lastly, the database settings file deals with broader database connectivity and settings, without targeting the indexing configuration directly.
