About Index Operations

If you are using a host Search Server, and remote servers, you must connect to the host to index or refresh the indices.

To index a search index

1. Navigate to Administration - Search > Search Indices.
2. In the Index Settings list, select the Index Setting that you would like to use for creating the Search Index.
3. In the Search Index view, click in the row containing the index.
4. Click the Index button.

   A pop-up window appears for the duration of the indexing operation.

NOTE:  When a Siebel Server starts, it caches information about the available indices, and will not automatically reset its cached list of search categories when a new index is subsequently created. When creating new indices, the Reset Categories menu item must be chosen from the applet menu on the Search Administration Settings List Applet (Read Only) applet in the Search Indices View. This action resets the cached list of categories for the current Siebel Server. This must be done on all servers in the enterprise.

To refresh an index

1. Navigate to Administration - Search > Search Indices.
2. In the Index Settings list, select the desired Index Setting.
3. In the Search Index view, click in the row containing the index.
4. Click the Refresh button.

To refresh all indices

1. Navigate to Administration - Search > Search Indices.
2. In the Index Settings list, select the desired Index Setting.
3. Click the Refresh All button.
