Ask the Expert Sample Application

Question

Is there a trigger/procedure or functionality that updates the Oracle Text index?
for example " CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX('ate_search_idx', '2M'); "
Shouldn't this snippet be run intermittently or whenever a question is published so the search utility on the main works?
I edited this trigger (changes in Bold)
create or replace TRIGGER "ATE".ATE_AIUD_SUBMTD_QUESTIONS AFTER
INSERT
OR UPDATE
OR DELETE ON "ATE"."ATE_SUBMITTED_QUESTIONS" REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW FOR EACH ROW begin
if ate_api.g_updating_status_ts = FALSE then
if ( inserting or updating ) then
update ate_posting_cnts set cnt = cnt+1 where code = :new.status;
end if;
if ( updating or deleting ) then
update ate_posting_cnts set cnt = cnt-1 where code = :old.status;
end if;
end if;
CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX('ate_search_idx', '2M');
end;
Hopefully this is the right thing to do, if not can someone guide me in the right direction, since I am not overly familiar with Oracle Text.
Regards

Are there any 'supported' updates or work-arounds that will enable the search utilty to work?
Thanks
