Configuring precedence rules

You configure precedence rules in the Oracle Endeca Server by loading them in Integrator. Alternatively, you can create a rule in the data store using the config-service:putPrecedenceRules operation of the Configuration Web Service.

The precedence rule is stored by the Dgraph process as a record in its data files, so that the precedence rules are automatically reloaded each time the Dgraph process is re-started.

To configure precedence rules:

  1. Create an input source file (such as a text file or a CSV file) that defines your precedence rules.
  2. In Integrator, create a graph that will read the input file, create the precedence rules, and send them to the Oracle Endeca Server using the config-service:putPrecedenceRules operation from the Configuration Web Service through WebClient component in Integrator.

The Oracle Endeca Information Discovery Integrator Components Guide provides details on creating the precedence rules and loading them into the Oracle Endeca Server.
