ELO sources

Having set up an ELO connection, you can define a source. The name implies that this will be a source for Portrait and your future sections. Technically speaking, sources are ELO index-field queries. The results of these queries will be stored as lists in Portrait.

Add the following to the source section inside the application.yml file:

sources:
  source:
    - id: 'elo-outgoing-invoices'
      conn: 'ix-Archive1'
      sourceType: 'elo'
      runInterval: 3600
      excludeKeysFromSuggestions: []
      sourceSpecific:
        mask: Sales
        searchParams:
          - name: SALDOCTYPE
            value: Invoice

The name of the source will be elo-outgoing-invoices. The name will be later on used inside the section. In this example, the connection ix-Archive1 is used and therefore must be defined firsthand. The sourceType will be in case of ELO always be elo. Thus, sourceSpecific config is required. Each ELO source needs a mask (= ELO keywording mask) and searchParams (= ELO indexfields). The name of an indexfield is referenced by its internal group name.

By default, ELO limits a search result to 10.000 entries. This limit can be adjusted - see the ELO Indexserver Documentation.

Settings

Name

Name
id `String`	Name of the source
conn `String`	Used connection. Refer to ELO connections
sourceType `String`	In case of ELO: `elo`
keyName `String` OPTIONAL	Name of the indexed object. If not set, it will default to `sord.Name`
key `String` OPTIONAL	Unique Id of the indexed object. If not set, it will default to `sord.Guid` The key must be unique for this document in Portrait
runInterval `Integer`	reindex interval of the source in seconds
runDelay `Integer` OPTIONAL	delay before the first reindex run in seconds.
runAt `String`	instead of using an interval, you can define a specific time when the reindex will be triggered. Example: `runtAt: 07:00` `runAt` cannot be combined with `runInterval`
maxResultSize `Integer` OPTIONAL	Per default, the ELO results are limited to 10.000 elements. By defining this property, you can overwrite the default to a higher value.
excludeKeysFromSuggestions `List<String>`	This list excludes the Keys from being added to the suggesters. Suggesters are used inside the search as “Completion Suggester” and “Did you Mean”. For ELO sources, a good practice is to filter all the internal fields. Example: `excludeKeysFromSuggestions: [guid, key, path, xDateIso, iDateIso, fileExtension, owner, parentId, isDocument, fileSize, desc, icon]`
icon `String`	See Entry Icons
sourceSpecific.mask `String`	Keywording mask Either the name of the mask or the SordID
sourceSpecific.searchParams `List<String name, String value>`	A list of ELO index fields to narrow the search. A list entry consists of the internal group name of an ELO index field and the value. Example:
sourceSpecific.documentDate OPTIONAL from `Integer` or `Date` to `Integer` or `Date`	These settings are under `sourceSpecific` and limits the search to a time range – either into the future or the past. The range will be applied on the ELO-Sord property “External Date“ (aka. Document Date). Example: This example limits the reindex to documents that are older than two years or newer than a year. It is also possible to use exact dates. The dates have to be written in the ISO 8601 (ISO - ISO 8601 — Date and time format) format. Example: This example limits the reindex to all documents from 2021.
sourceSpecific.archivingDate OPTIONAL from `Integer` or `Date` to `Integer` or `Date`	These settings are under `sourceSpecific` and limits the search to a time range – either into the future or the past. The range will be applied on the ELO-Sord property “Internal Date“ (aka. Archiving Date). Example: This example limits the reindex to documents that are archived at max for 90 days. The property `from:` is set to zero, so could also be left out. It is also possible to use exact dates. The dates have to be written in the ISO 8601 (ISO - ISO 8601 — Date and time format) format. Example: This example limits the reindex to all documents that have been archived in 2021.
sourceSpecific.maps `List<object>` OPTIONAL	Index ELO maps of a given object. Due to a lot of different configuration setups, you must define which fields are imported. Example: Domain You need to define which domain you want to use, typically this would be `objekte` or `formdata` - in case of fields used in Business Solutions. You can also define your own domain (e.g. `ApplicationA`). See also de.elo.ix.client.MapDomainC in the ELO IndexServer documentation. Type Can either be `string` or `table`. If the type is table, Portrait will collect a value and convert it into a table and store it as a list of objects. Name The name of the map field or the common prefix of a map-table. Given the above examples, the map fields can be accessed via the following names from the UI: string: `map_formdata_MY_VERY_LONG_TEXT` table: `table_objekte_YOUR_TABLE_PREFIX` If Portrait detects that a map-value is stored as blob, the blob value is extracted and stored as text. Otherwise, the normal value is utilized (which is limited to 255 chars).
sourceSpecific.excludeEntriesWithinAdministration boolean OPTIONAL	Default: true Determines if sords within the ‘administration’ folder are blacklisted and therefore not indexed.
sourceSpecific.excludeEntriesWithinChaosFolder boolean OPTIONAL	Default: true Determines if sords within the ‘chaosablage’ folder are blacklisted and therefore not indexed.
sourceSpecific.excludeEntriesWithinFolder List of GUIDS OPTIONAL	Default: empty Can be set to exclude certain directories for indexing. All Sords within the specified folders and its subdirectories are ignored. Example

Index Documents/Files

It is possible to index files referenced by an entry. Currently only supported when providing public access to them.

Configuration:

Name

Name
`publicCache: true/false`	Must be true Default: false
`mask` String	Mask selector for Entries you want to cache. This should be the document mask.
`nesting` Int	Hierarchy level for the search. Defaults to `1`

Storage Location

The Files are cached during reindex and stored on the local file system alongside the configuration.

The files can then be retrieved via the URL

One example use case is to include images into preformatted HTML or Markdown content.
