The Maintenance tab is used to clean up obsolete data and defragment the indexed data in the selected full-text catalogs.
Defragmenting catalogs may improve performance, and may help prevent data from becoming corrupted, by keeping the data in the index logically arranged. Cleaning up obsolete data may improve performance by reducing the size of the index being searched when a search is performed.
To defragment and clean up full-text catalogs:
- Launch the OnBase Configuration module.
- Select Full-Text Search from the Utils menu. The Full-Text Configuration Module dialog box is displayed.
- Click the Maintenance tab. The Catalog Cleaning pane is displayed.
-
Click Refresh Data.
The catalogs are scanned and the results are displayed in the following columns:
Column Name
Description
Document Type
The Document Type name of the full-text catalog scanned. Each Document Type has its own full-text catalog.
Fragmentation
The amount of fragmentation in the corresponding full-text catalog.
Percent Obsolete
The amount of indexed data in the corresponding full-text catalog that is no longer needed and can be removed.
Clean
The indicator of which catalogs are queued to be cleaned and defragmented. If the check box is selected then the catalog will be cleaned and defragmented.
Note:After a catalog has been cleaned, the Clean check box is automatically deselected.
-
Select the check box in the Clean column that corresponds to the full-text catalog to clean and defragment. The Document Type name is listed because each Document Type has its own full-text catalog.
-
Click Save at the bottom of the tab. The selected full-text catalogs are cleaned. After a catalog has been cleaned, the Clean check box is deselected.
Note:
If a catalog queued for cleaning also has backfile processing to complete, the backfile work is completed before the cleaning process is run on that catalog.
