Best practices
For configuring stages and pipelines
Test your pipelines to learn how each stage affects your documents
Order your stages and pipelines correctly
Identify pipeline performance issues
Use conditional statements to limit unnecessary document processing
Process only the documents that your users want
Use the Reject Documents stage to debug your pipelines
Use Workflow Recursion to simplify your pipelines
Use temporary fields
Follow the best practices for each stage type
For running workflow tasks
Schedule tasks to run when user demand on the system is low
Favor processing large numbers of small documents
Optimize your pipeline before changing task performance settings
Experiment with task performance setting changes
Run the Workflow-Agent jobs on as many instances as possible
Optionally, avoid processing old versions of HCP objects
Avoid or minimize metrics collection in production
Avoid unnecessary file rereads
For designing an index
Scale your index appropriately to ensure availability and fast query responses
For HCI Indexes, increase the Index Protection Level setting to maintain index availability and performance
Use the appropriate initial schema value
Favor query settings changes over index collection schema changes
Minimize field attributes in your index collection schema
Minimize the number of copy fields
Do not use dynamic fields in a production index
Use the smallest field types possible for numerical values
Follow this example procedure to create an index for use in production
Use the Index action in your pipeline to test the effects of pipeline stages on your index
For connecting to HCP
HCP data connection
HCP MQE data connection
S3 Compatible data connection
For end-user search experience
Expose as many searchable fields as is useful
Keep searches fast
Enable extra search features
For writing content classes
Have Hitachi Content Intelligence create content properties for you
Keep content property types in separate content classes
Normalize field names within a content class
