Additional to my study papers a little summary of the next generation full text engine xPlore.
XPlore was released October 2010 for Documentum 6.5 SP2 / 6.5 SP3 / 6.6 and worked in the Dual Mode with the FAST engine. Since Documentum 6.7 and CenterStage 1.1 only xPlore search is available.
FAST vs. xPlore Interface
- Result by xPlore engine. This shot was taken from CenterStage version 1.2
- Search Result with FAST engine. This screenshot was taken from the TaskSpace 6.6 envirnment.
Benefit
- The main benefit is the complete new indexing services based on Lucene of the Apache Software Foundation. Lucene works on the Documentum xDB (XML Database) und using the XQuery Language.
- xPlore provides native support for ACLs. Unauthorized documents are not collected. FAST engine collects all result document and the ContentServer filter the results.
Exam question
