File indexing service API
File indexing service is implemented using 2 services:
- XS javascript (XSJS) service
- Used for creating files, appending rows, etc.
- XSODATA service
- Used for full-text search in files
- Also possible to create files and rows, but for more convenient API xsjs service is more suitable
Service authorizations
Indexing agent application should use database user with assigned role 'dvd.filesearch.roles::agent'.

|---|---|---|
| dvd.filesearch::FileIndex.FileOrigin | FileOrigin | /dvd/filesearch/FileIndex.xsodata/FileOrigin |
| dvd.filesearch::FileIndex.File | File | /dvd/filesearch/FileIndex.xsodata/File |
| dvd.filesearch::FileIndex.FileData | FileData | /dvd/filesearch/FileIndex.xsodata/FileData |
| dvd.filesearch::FileIndex.FileView | FileView | /dvd/filesearch/FileIndex.xsodata/FileView |
