Schema and Edit schema

A schema is a row description, it defines the number of fields to be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-in or stored remotely in the Repository.

Built-in: The schema will be created and stored locally for this component only. For more information about a component schema in its Basic settings tab, see Basic settings tab.

Repository: The schema already exists and is stored in the Repository, hence can be reused in various projects and Job designs. For more information about a component schema in its Basic settings tab, see Basic settings tab.

Index path

Type in or browse to the location where you want to create and store the synonym index. If the specified directory does not exist, the component will create it.

Operations

(Delete and) initialize an index: creates a new index and then fills it with the entries and the corresponding synonyms; if an index already exists, deletes it before creating a new one.

Insert new documents: inserts new entries and synonyms into the given existing index. Duplicates are not inserted.

Update existing documents and insert if not existing: updates existing entries and synonyms, and adds new ones to the given index.

Delete existing documents: deletes the entries with their synonyms if the same entries are identified in the incoming data flow from the preceding component.
