Enhancements to Magnify administration include tools
to maintain and diagnose Magnify performance. Additionally, an API
has been made available to assist in updating, verifying, and securing
the Magnify environment. File indexing has become simpler with file
type auto-detection for most widely-used file formats such as Microsoft
Office 2010 and prior versions, PDF, Open Office, and others.

The Magnify Console provides several diagnostic pages
that provide more information while working within the Magnify platform.
You can access the Magnify console using the following URL:
http://server_name:port_number/context_root/search/jsp/index.jsp
where:
- server_name:port_number
Is the server name of where Magnify is installed and the
HTTP port of the application server. For Tomcat stand-alone configurations,
the default port number is 8080. If you require SSL, use HTTPS instead
of HTTP.
The following image illustrates the Magnify Console.
For more information on using the different settings available
using the Magnify Console, see the Magnify Security and Administration Manual.

The following are request parameters available from
the Magnify API that you can set on the HTTP URL to retrieve information
about your Magnify environment:
-
clearcache
-
When set to 1, removes cached information on the application
server whenever changes are made to collections.
-
proxyreload
-
When set to 1, refreshes the stylesheet to reflect changes
without restarting the application server.
-
site
-
Specifies the folder name of the collection, or implicit index.
-
collections
-
Specifies an alternate collections configuration file. You
must specify the clearcache and proxyreload request parameters as
well. When indexing, the default collections.xml file is used.
For more information on retrieving information about your Magnify
environment using the request parameters described in this section
and others, see the Magnify Security and Administration Manual.
