Creating and updating the Domain Index
The indexing server relies on the Domain Catalog to tell it which databases and file systems to include in the Domain Index. You use the Server document to enable the Domain Indexer task and set a schedule for it to run. By default, the Domain Indexer task runs once an hour.
Before you begin
Note: The Catalog task that creates the Domain
Catalog must have finished before you start the Domain Indexer task.
Procedure
- From the Domino Administrator, select the server that you want to be the indexing server.
- Click the Configuration tab.
- Expand the Server section in the view pane.
- Click Current Server Document.
- Click Edit Server, and then click the tab.
- In the Schedule field, select Enabled.
- Click OK.
- Set the indexing schedule to meet the needs of your organization.
- In the Limit domain wide indexing to the following servers field, select the servers that you want to include in the index. Use wildcard characters to index all servers certified with a specific certifier -- for example */Sales/East/Renovations. If the field is blank (default), the Domain Indexer indexes all databases for which the Include in multi database indexing property is enabled.
- If you have Web clients, do the following to allow the
indexing server to form valid URLs when the results of a search are
displayed in a browser:
- Click Save and Close.
- Restart the server by entering this command:
restart server
Results
The Domain Indexer runs when next scheduled.
Note: The indexing server must complete the initial indexing
pass before users can perform searches. Check the Domain Indexer Status
view in the Domain Catalog to be sure the initial pass is complete.
