Configure Codebase Indexing and Knowledge Bases

Codebase Indexing provides semantic search when exact filenames or terms are not known. The Indexing area appears only when the capability is enabled for the current environment.

Check availability​

Open AI Cockpit Reasoning: Settings. If Indexing is not present, the feature is not available in the current configuration. You can continue to use file and folder mentions without it.

Configure project indexing​

  1. Open Settings → Indexing.
  2. Select the supported embedding and storage configuration supplied by your environment.
  3. Start or enable indexing for the project.
  4. Wait for the status to report that the index is ready before depending on semantic search.

Use project scope for the repository currently open in VS Code. Rebuild the index when the interface reports stale or incompatible data.

Use organization Knowledge Bases​

Knowledge Bases appear only when they are available to the active organization. Select only sources appropriate for the current project and account permissions.

Provider, storage, and tuning fields depend on the deployment. Follow the values supplied by your administrator instead of copying values from another environment.

Indexing can improve discovery, but it does not replace explicit context for a file or requirement that must be part of the request.
