Step 1: Maintenance Operation

Select the operation you want to perform:

  • Rebuild Index—All content processing results (text/metadata) will be retained, but the search index will be truncated. Then the program will re-do all indexing/classification (during that process, search results will be unavailable). Optionally you can choose to Shrink - this will rebuild the Text.cse file removing any fragmentation. Shrink will require sufficient disk space to process (up to the existing size of Text.cse)
  • Re-Collect Index— The search index will be cleaned (all documents from the source will be removed from it). Then the program will re-crawl all configured sources and update the search index (during that process, search results will be unavailable).

NOTE: This option is recommended after setting up DQS configuration.

  • Delete Index—Delete all content from both the search index and the NDC SQL database.

Index Maintenance

NOTE: Only available for ‘Superusers’.

You may need to reprocess content or even clean the environment on a large scale —for example, after a large amount of content has been deleted, or after configuring a DQS environment. In such scenarios, index should also be maintained — to ensure data consistency. To automate maintenance operations, you can use a built-in tool named Cleaner.

To launch the Cleaner tool

  1. Open NDC Management Web Console.
  2. Navigate to Settings→ Config and click Run Cleaner.
  3. Then follow the steps of Index Maintenance wizard.
