What is AOD and how do I use it?

Forgive my ignorance, but I cannot find any documentation related to Advanced OpenDiscovery. Searches on the Wiki for “AOD” and “Advanced Opendiscovery” aren’t really giving me anything useful. Thus, I have no idea what it’s for or how to use it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Please check http://www.suitecrm.com/wiki/index.php/Modules some definitions are in that site

Thanks, but there is nothing on that page related to AOD.

Regardless, I did figure out that it’s just a different way of searching, and already integrated with SuiteCRM.

Hi there,

AOD is a custom search module built into SuiteCRM utilising Lucene. AOD needs to index, so ensure your cron job is set up and your schedulers are running so that AOD can index all records, to enable you to utilise the search to its full potential.

Thanks,

Will.

I have some results in the AOD search, but not all of the records matching the search are shown. The schedulers have been properly running for over a week now. Does the indexing take this long? How can I check on the status of the indexing to ensure there isn’t a problem somewhere?

Hi there,

You can check in the aod_index/aod_index_event tables to see what has been indexed and when.

What types of records are you searching on and what criteria are you using?

Thanks,

Will.

Looking at the aod_indexevent table, I see it is still indexing. I have a module that I want to exclude from the search indexing. Can you point me to an explanation of how to do that?
