Why is my Adaptive Search publish process taking a long time to complete?

Click Publish to run the process each time you change your Adaptive Search configuration. Your changes become effective when the process completes. The variations in the time it takes for the successful completion of the publish process is mainly due to the volume of data, the number of objects enabled, and the number of attributes selected for each object.

You must click Publish to run the process each time you:
  • Make changes on the Setup tab.
  • Perform a production to test (P2T) environment refresh

When the full publish job completes successfully, your Adaptive Search configuration becomes the latest active meta model. This ensures that users have the latest features and enhancements and aren't limited in functionality due to an older version of an active meta model being in use.

The recommended schedule for some processes might vary according to your business requirements, existing run assignments, and data load schedules. For example, if you publish more attributes and more objects, then it takes more time to complete the publish and indexing process. You can improve the performance by removing any attributes that you don't want to be indexed. You can also monitor the progress of the publish process. Your configuration is active when the process completes successfully.

Note: The Publish process should be completed before running the Periodic refresh process.
