About this task
Procedure
To reindex content that failed to be indexed previously,
complete the following steps.
-
Start the wsadmin client from one of the following directories on the system on which you
installed the Deployment Manager:
Linux:
app_server_root\profiles\dm_profile_root\bin
Windows:
where app_server_root is the WebSphere® Application Server installation directory and dm_profile_root is the Deployment Manager profile directory, typically dmgr01.app_server_root/profiles/dm_profile_root/bin
You must start the client from this directory or subsequent commands that you enter do not execute correctly.
- After the wsadmin command environment
has initialized, enter the following command to initialize the Search
environment and start the Search script interpreter:
execfile("searchAdmin.py")
If prompted to specify a service to connect to, type 1 to pick the first node in the list. Most commands can run on any node. If the command writes or reads information to or from a file using a local file path, you must pick the node where the file is stored.When the command is run successfully, the following message displays:Search Administration initialized
- Use the following command.
- SearchService.retryIndexing(String service, String id)
Attempts to index an item of content that was not indexed successfully during initial or incremental indexing.
Note: retryIndexing does not work for ecm_files.This command takes two parameters:- service
- The application from which the content originated.
- id
- The Atom ID of the content. For information about how to retrieve the Atom ID for the content, refer to the HCL Connections API documentation on the IBM® Social Business Development Wiki.
For example:SearchService.retryIndexing('activities', 'b63cabf8-0533-45cf-9636-d63cd6a6f3ca')
