Rebuilding the index
The CLC Server maintains an index of all the elements for each data location, which is used when searching for data elements. The index for each available data location can be rebuilt (figure 3.4).
Note: Rebuilding an index can take a long time for locations with a lot of data elements.
When adding a data location, re-building the index is the default option. Rebuilding the index is also useful if:
- You experience problems while searching (e.g. something is missing from the search results).
- You move the CLC Server from one computer to another. In this case, there are two choices:
- Rebuild the index for each data location on the new system, or
- Replace the
searchindexfolder in the installation area of the new setup with thesearchindexfolder from the installation area of the old setup. Copying the indexes this way may be the preferable option for setups with data locations with many data elements.
Figure 3.4: The index for each file system location can be rebuilt. This is useful when searching does not return expected results, but can take a long time for locations with many data elements. Here, CLCServerLoc2 has been disabled and thus its index cannot be rebuilt.
Details about indexing operations can be seen in the Audit log, under the Management tab.
