Purging and Rebuilding the Search Collection
You can purge and rebuild the contents of the search collection.
You might want to do this in a dire situation where the contents of
the cluster are corrupted beyond repair and good checkpoints are not
available for recovery.
- Put all cluster nodes in standby mode.
- Purge the collection.
- Rebuild the collection.
- If your portal deployment includes AquaLogic Interaction
Collaboration, rebuild the Collaboration index.
- Purging the Search CollectionYou can purge the contents of the search collection. You might want to purge the cluster in staging or development systems, or if you want to clean out the search collection without re-installing all the nodes. Purging (and rebuilding) the search collection may also be useful in a dire situation where the contents of the cluster are corrupted beyond repair and good checkpoints are not available for recovery.
- Rebuilding the Search CollectionYour search index might get out of sync with your database if, during the course of a crawl, the Search Service became unavailable or a network failure prevented an indexing operation from completing. Another possibility is that a Search Service with empty indices was swapped into an existing portal with pre-existing documents and folders.
- Rebuilding the Collaboration Search CollectionRebuilding reconciles data between the AquaLogic Interaction Collaboration database and Search Service index. Since this is a lengthy and computationally expensive process, use the rebuild operation only when absolutely necessary.
