    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    An external content schema table doesn't store data in the database. Instead, its columns serve as a map of AI Search index fields to populate when you index content from external data sources.

    When you index or delete records associated with this content schema using endpoints from the External Content Ingestion REST API, you must specify the schema table name as a path parameter.

    Prozedur

    1. Navigate to All > AI Search > External Content > Create Schema.
    2. Enter a name for your new external source schema table.
    3. Select Submit.
      The new external content schema table opens in list view.
    4. Wahlweise: If you need to define additional field mappings for records from the external data source, add a new column for each field.
      1. In the Columns related list, select New.
      2. On the Dictionary Entry form, fill in the fields.
