Custom ranging in solr for custom field with websphere commerce

Question

I have customized the solar query so that it returns me the response in each fulfillment center for a particular product (say chair) as

inventory_11051======>10

inventory_11052======>0

etc

I need to add a filter in the front end so that my solar results are filtered to show only those products which has inventory greater than 0.

Please note: 11051 and 11052 are fulfillment ids which I should decide at run time and append to the filter. Can someone please help me on the same?

Cheers!

Answer 1

I gathered from your question that you have a number of inventories you have to check? So you need to return fulfillment IDs for product X where inventory is greater than zero? I assume then that product ID plus fulfillment ID is the unique key for your index?

If so then filtering for inventory should not be a problem. Inventory is an integer, right? So to filter on inventory you would simply add " inventory:[1 TO *] " to your filter query parameter ("fq" if you're using the Solr web service). Filtering on fulfillment IDs should work similarly, except you won't be using a range: " fulfillment_id:(11051 OR 11052) ". Does that help? Remember to use a "+" before each filter if you have multiple filter params. So your filter query may look like this: "fq=+inventory:[1 TO *] +fulfillment_id:(11051 OR 11052)".
