Disable indexing

[lme]

Hi,

We are currently importing a large amount of data via ftp and we would like to know if disabling indexing could speed up the transfer.

Is it possible to completely disable indexing? How could I do it?
How could I reindex files after the transfer is finish? Maybe by changing the value of executeFullRecovery to true in index-recovery-context.xml and restarting Alfresco… Is this correct?

Thanks.

Hi

Not really as other things use data in the index.

The behaviour for individual attributes can be altered.

Content can be set to be indexed in the background - rather than atomically - which should help. As of about 1.3, long running content transforms will get moved into a background thread when they exceed a given threshold.

FTP hits indexing hard as it in fact uses more than one transaction to load up a single file. A better bulk load is on the list of things to do.
