Reindexing
Reindexing is the process of re-running the indexing of the document vault into a newly created (empty) index. Reindexing is required after specific plugin version updates.
Reindexing in On-Premises Environments
Follow these steps to reindex content in on-premises environments:
1. Download the updated AI_Assistant_Plugin_Azure_IaC.zip file, available at the bottom of the Windchill AI Assistant Configuration window.
2. Create new index resources in the existing Azure deployment managed by the AI Assistant Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
a. Add a new index name to the index_names field in the wcaia.parameters.json file.
For example, if index_names is ["default"], update it to ["default", "reindexed"].
3. In the Windchill AI Assistant Configuration window:
a. Under Azure AI Search, update the Index Name to the new index name (for example, reindexed).
b. Under Azure Storage, update the Container Name to the same value.
Reindexing in SaaS Environments
Follow these steps to reindex content in SaaS environments:
1. In the PTC Admin Center, register your Windchill product instance again. This step is required even if the instance was registered previously.
2. In the
Windchill AI Assistant Configuration window, under the
PTC SaaS Platform Service section, update the
Principal Client ID and
Secret Key using the values from the
Connection Details tab. For more information, see
