Customer indexing
Customer indexing enables searching on Commerce customer data. Every time a customer is created or updated, the Commerce Engine updates the CustomersIndex list, which in turn triggers an update to the Customer index (commerce_customrs_index). The Search service uses this index for customer look-ups performed from the business tools.
The following fields are stored in the Customer index:
-
customerid: unique identifier for the customer -
email: customer’s email address -
status: customer’s account status -
firstname: customer’s first name -
lastname: customer’s last name -
datecreated: the date when the customer was added to the system -
dateupdated: the date when the customer’s account was last updated -
articfactstoreid: the ID for the environment where the customer was created
By default, the indexer runs every ten minutes.
