Setting Up Browse Scoping Support for HIP 4.X

Horizon 7.4 and HIP 4.0 and above provide enhanced support to the Horizon Information Portal browse scoping feature. Browse scoping lets you limit the display of searching results. Information Portal requires break points for browse scoping in order to efficiently process and return results. You must specify browse scoping break points for the browse scoping feature to be available for any indexes in Information Portal.

In previous versions of Information Portal, browse scoping data was stored on the Information Portal database. With the release of HIP 4.0 with Horizon 7.4, this information is stored in tables on the Horizon database. In addition, Horizon uses a Day End process that populates and updates these new tables on the Horizon database. When you run this Day End process, it will create Browse Scope Break Points for each index for which you marked the HIP Browse Scoping check box in the mq_index view. (HIP 3.09, and higher 3.x versions, continue to rely on the HIP database for browse scoping and the following instructions do not apply to customers with the 3.x series.)

You can only create browse scope break points for indexes with ‘auth’ or ‘bib’ as the base table. In addition, you can only create browse scope break points for alpha or multi-source indexes.
