Refreshing the Index

Refresh indexing provides for immediate update of the search index. It is supported for both thick and thin clients. The Status Details field is incremented by the number of new records and decremented by the number of deleted records. Record updates do not contribute to the Status Details record count. Refresh indexing is supported for business components, and is not supported for the File System Connector.

Activating search run-time events is a prerequisite for using the index refresh function.

To enable refresh indexing for preconfigured search objects, see Activating Search Run-Time Events.

To enable refresh indexing for custom search objects, see Activating Search Run-Time Events and Creating Search Run-Time Events for Custom Search Objects.
