  1. Magnify Search Building Search Based Applications Adam Lotrowski a quick start guide

  2. Agenda • Magnify Introduction • Search Interface Overview • Transforming Raw Data into Search Content • Magnify Indexing Maintenance • Organizing Magnify Search Libraries • Additional Learning Material • Getting Magnify Help

  3. Magnify Introduction

  4. Convergence of Search and Business Intelligence

  5. Single Access Point to all Applications and Databases Anyone Single Point of Information Access Business Analysts Multiple Application Interfaces IT Mainframe Servers Forms Reports Documents Images Multi Media Databases

  6. Requirements for Successful Implementation Connect to 300 data sources; capture document changes in real time; merge documents; and more… Integration Use metadata to classify documents, to increase the find-ability, and to render dynamically search filters… Metadata Simple search box, powerful guided navigation, interactive tabular view, multi-drill to additional information… GUI World class Business Intelligence engine that allows you to ask and answer questions additional questions of the searchable content… BI Security Robust security for any data source, including row and column level security for structured sources; integration with other enterprise level security systems…

  7. How Does Magnify Work? • The Magnify Process • Capture content in real time as information is added or edited. • Catalog content with a search engine index using tags to categorize, secure, rank and present results stored. • Cost effective and highly scalable solution leveraging open source Lucene. • Business intelligence reports presenting various ways to view found content. • Clustered indexes keep search within one application as more information becomes available. Transform Content into Searchable Information Enterprise Content Search Request Magnify Results Report Request WF Report

  8. Leverage the Power of Search & Business Intelligence Information Inquiries • Search for customer account • Search for vendor transaction • Get account balances • Get all transactions exceeding $ X.xx • Leverage the strengths of each technology • Leverage hardware and software • Simplify development, maintenance & deployment • Offer better and more complete user experience

  9. Search Interface Overview Reference: Magnify’s End User Manual: http://documentation.informationbuilders.com/masterindex/html/html_wf_7703/wf77maggs/wf77maggs.pdf

  11. Magnify Search Results

  12. What is a search result? 1 2 3 4 5

  13. Analytics with BI Search: Example Search for an inventory item in large repositories across many systems Narrow down the matches by using suggestions from the faceted navigation Click to convert the results to an Active Report to perform further analysis

  14. Analytics with BI Search: Example You can now pivot the results to find the item that has the highest cost Then you can click on the item to generate any type of report Or you can switch back to search results and run any report on any item

  15. Analytics with BI Search: Example Drill down to any report with relevant information for the item of interest Guided ad hoc and predictive analytics Detailed product documents Inventory, sales, and other reports

  16. Magnify Search Tips • Exact Match: Use double quotation marks to search for two or more keywords that must appear together: "Magnify CentSales" • Inclusion: Use a + (plus sign) in front of keywords that must appear in the search results. To search for results that must contain "plasma" and may contain "TV" use the query: TV +plasma • Exclusion: Use a - (minus sign) in front of keywords you want to exclude from your search. To search for results that contain "stores" but not "united states" use the query: stores –"United States" • Boolean: Use logical operators such as OR, AND, and NOT (case sensitive) to link groups of terms together for a more powerful search. To search for results that contain "music teachers" or both "MP3" and "VHS", but not "New York" use the query: ("music teachers" OR (MP3 AND VHS)) NOT "New York" • Wildcard: Use a * (asterisk sign) or ? (question mark) anywhere in a keyword to expand your search. To perform a single character wildcard search use the "?" symbol. To perform a multiple character wildcard search use the "*" symbol. The single character wildcard search looks for terms that match that with the single character replaced. Multiple character wildcard searches looks for 0 or more characters: D?D or D*D

  17. Transform Raw Data Into Search Content Reference: Magnify Developer’s Guide: http://documentation.informationbuilders.com/masterindex/html/html_wf_7703/wf77magdev/wf77magdev.pdf

  18. Magnify: Quick Feed • Challenge • Building Search Based Applications (SBA) required specialized skills • Not many people have this skill • Realization: Building Search Based Applications is no different than building WebFOCUS reports • Magnify category fields equal BY fields • Searchable content equal PRINT fields • Search result links equal DEFINE fields with Drill Downs • New Feature: FORMAT MAGNIFY for quick feeds • Create a report in Developer Studio • Change format to Magnify ….. AND YOU ARE DONE!

  19. Magnify: Getting Started • Steps to setup search • Review the data and build context BY JOINing common relationships • Identify high-level groups and designate searchable data • Enhance and enrich the data with drill downs and security • Aggregate data BY merging multiple rows into a single search result • Configure the feed and index with Magnify • Schedule feeds for full search life cycle • Immediate Benefits • Discover information with categorizations • Search across tables and rows • Associate search content with BI reporting

  20. Course Example: Setup • Open Developer Studio • Create project for ibisamp • OR • Navigate to Data Servers > EDASERVE > Applications > ibisamp • Create Procedure to Review Content • Create a procedure named courses_all in Procedure Viewer • In Procedure Viewer, add a Report object and select the course.mas file • In Report Painter double click on CRSELIST segment to add all fields to the report canvas (or double-click on each field individually) • Save and Run • Close procedure

  21. Review All The Data

  22. Identify Categories and Searchable Content Categories

  23. Identify Categories and Searchable Content Categories

  24. Identify Categories and Searchable Content Searchable Content

  25. Course Example: Generate Search Result Metadata • Create a Procedure to Transform the Content – Part 1 • Create new procedure named courses_transformin Procedure Viewer • In Procedure Viewer, add a DEFINE object selecting the course.mas file • Add the Defined fields:

  26. Course Example: Define Transformations • Create a Procedure to Transform the Content – Part 2 • Create a Report Object, selecting the course.mas file • Add the Fields and Set the Column Title as: • Required: SearchTitle, MagnifyID, and WF_INDEX_UNIQUE_KEY • Always Recommended: Categories, Magnify Meta Tags, and Searchable Content • Save, Run an the Close

  27. Enhance And Enrich The Content Enhanced Title Unique IDs Categorizations Title Drill Down Link
