Configuring Dynamic System Settings for search

You can enable search by using Dynamic System Settings.

1. To view an existing setting, from the Records Explorer, click SysAdmin > Dynamic System Settings. To create a new setting, click Create > SysAdmin > Dynamic System Settings.
2. Create and configure the following settings by clicking Create.
Settings:

Dynamic System Setting	Default	Description
indexing/distributed/transport/port	9300-9400	Enables communication between nodes. Open a TCP port for each node in a Pega 7 Platform cluster and make each port available for the indexing engine to use (for internal node-to-node communications only).
indexing/distributed/batch/numworkers	2	Controls the number of threads on each node that process entries in the search queue during bulk indexing operations such as clicking the Re-Index button on the Search landing page.
indexing/distributed/search_timeout_millis	None	Sets a search query time-out limit in milliseconds.
indexing/distributed/masternode_discovery_timeout_millis	30	Sets the time-out to wait in milliseconds, for all nodes of a cluster, checking for an index node to become available during the startup process. If an index node is not available, the node starts after the time-out; it does not wait for the indexing node to become available. Node initialization synchronizes the nodes once the indexing node is available.
alerts/search/operationtime_threshold	None	Generates alerts for search queries whose response time, in milliseconds, exceeds the specified threshold.
indexing/distributed/enable_inter_node_encryption	false	Specifies whether encryption and authentication are enabled for communication among search nodes.
indexing/distributed/enable_onlyselectedfieldsinfulltextsearch	false	Specifies whether to include only those properties with the Make this property available for full-text search option selected on the relevant Custom Search Properties instance.
indexing/distributed/search/displaySecuredProperties	false	Specifies whether to include properties with access control policies in search results.
