DAM Indexing

You can use Digital Asset Management (DAM) as a datasource of the Search service. Using DAM as a datasource enables you to search DAM assets and images more efficiently with the help of OpenSearch. To make DAM a proper datasource for Search, the following indexing processes are introduced:

  • Initial indexing: Indexes all existing assets during the startup of the DAM server.
  • Reindexing: Indexes all existing assets while revalidating stale indexes. You can trigger this process manually through DXClient or DAM API.
  • Live indexing: Indexes changes made in DAM in near real-time. This allows DAM indexes to be up-to-date.

Limitation

The contents of the assets are not considered during indexing. For example, text content of a document is not part of the indexing process.

Refer to the following topics for instructions on how to configure and use DAM Indexing.
