Connectors : Proxem : Proxem Connector
 
Proxem Connector
The Exalead CloudView Proxem connector crawls Proxem objects, offering a full search experience.
Use one Exalead CloudView instance of the Proxem connector for one Proxem project.
Audience
This document explains how to configure and deploy Exalead CloudView Proxem connector. We assume that the reader has working knowledge of:
• The operating system on which the Exalead CloudView server and the connectors are installed.
• The Proxem source structure.
This document assumes that the reader is familiar with the Exalead CloudView Administration Console.
Compatibility
This connector is available for Exalead CloudView V6R2021x.FD04 and higher.
Standard Workflow
Figure 1. Standard Workflow
In the source connector, add a Document convert PushAPI Filter to convert binary files into text.
For more information, see Configuring the Source Connector .
In the source connector, add a Push to Proxem PushAPI filter (installed by the first plugin) to specify the Proxem project for which you want to index analyzed documents.
Note: Use the Discard Document document processor to prevent Exalead CloudView from indexing documents. You only want to index documents analyzed by Proxem.
For more information, see Discarding Source Connector Documents .
Proxem analyzes the documents pushed by the source connector Push to Proxem PushAPI filter.
Configure the Proxem connector.
For more information, see Configuring the Proxem Connector .
Configure the Exalead CloudView data model, to create the equivalent of the Proxem categories.
In your search UI, verify that Proxem categories are displayed as expected.
Worflow with Consolidation Server
The Proxem analysis may take some time to complete. This workflow shows the use of the Consolidation Server to retrieve documents directly from the Source Connector, and replace these documents by the analyzed documents when they are ready.
Figure 2. Consolidation Server Workflow
The Consolidation Server receives documents directly from the Source connector. It allows you to avoid waiting for the end of the Proxem analysis, which takes more time.
Note: For this step, the source connector pushes text only, and not the binaries.
When the Proxem analysis is complete, the Proxem Connector sends analyzed documents to the Consolidation Server. The Consolidation Server then keeps the newly arrived documents, and deletes the documents first pushed after step .
