Adding stop phrases in the qssp.db file is a way to hide particular words or phrases from appearing in the Hot Topic Analytics topic map. The stop phrases are still retained in the Smart Analytics data set.

To add stop phrases for Hot Topic Analytics, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure the following configuration is defined in the IDOL/IDOLServer.cfg file:

    QuerySummaryStopPhraseMode=9

  2. Run Hot Topic Analytics, and then find the topics that you want to remove from the topic map.
  3. Stop the following Smart Analytics services:

    • HPE SM Smart Analytics Main Server
    • HPE Smart Analytics HTA & Smart Ticket content server
  4. Add the words that you identified as stop phrases to the ./Content1/main/qssp.db file.
  5. Restart the following Smart Analytics services:

    • HPE SM Smart Analytics Main Server
    • HPE Smart Analytics HTA & Smart Ticket content server
  6. Run Hot Topic Analytics again. Now, those stop phrases are no longer displayed in the topic map.
