In a network installation, the folder must be one to which all users have read access. It is not necessary for the folder to
be mapped on individual user computers but they must be able to access it through its Universal Naming Convention
(UNC) file name (\\servername\sharename\path\filename).
The default folder for the database is the PlanetPress Search program folder.
4. In the Select Directory dialog box, click OK.
If the folder you selected already contains a database, PlanetPress Search prompts for confirmation to delete it (Plan-
etPress Search reserves the name archives.mdb for all the Microsoft Access databases it creates; thus it cannot
create a new database in a folder that already contains an archives.mdb file). Click Yes to delete the existing data-
base and create the new one, or click No to cancel the operation and return to the Select Directory dialog box to select
a different folder.
If the folder you specified does not exist, PlanetPress Search prompts for confirmation to create it. Click OK to have
PlanetPress Search create the new folder and create the new database in that folder, or Cancel to return to the Select
Directory dialog box and select another folder.
Once PlanetPress Search creates the empty Microsoft Access database, archives.mdb, in the database folder, it
updates the search profile to point to that database, and returns control to the PlanetPress Search Program window.
5. If necessary, adjust the options for this search profile. See "Set User Options" (page 15).
6. Build the database for the new search profile. See "Build the Contents of a Database for the First Time" (page 22).
7. Choose File | Save to save the search profile.
Create a New Search Profile that Uses an Oracle Database
The procedures here describe how to create a new search profile that uses an Oracle Database.
Because of how Oracle works, the computer where the Search profile is located must be on the same local network
as the Oracle server.
Pre-Requisites for Oracle database connectivity:
l An Oracle driver must be installed on the system.
l The currently logged on user must have access to the Oracle database through the network.
l A database must be created on the Oracle server. It is suggested to call the database Search.
l Ausername and password must be defined in the user options and this username must have access to the Oracle
server and its Search database (see Set User Options).
To create a search profile connected to an Oracle database
1. Open PlanetPress Search.
2. Go to File, New, Oracle Profile...
3. Enter the name of the Oracle database, provided by the database administrator then click OK.
4. Browse to the location you want to save the search profile (prf file).
5. Enter a name for the profile then click Save.
Once your profile is created, additional actions may be done on the profile:
l To share a profile on the network between multiple users, see Sharing A Profile On The Network.
l To edit the profile manually to change additional options, see Search Profile Contents Line by Line.
