Indexing docs missed by a failed openoffice instance

[hikenboots]

I have a "what if" question.  If, for some reason, openoffice was not started or listening and someone loads documents into the repository, obviously, they will not be full text indexed.  How would I get Alfresco to reindex the content store after fixing openoffice?

Hi,

You can run an index recovery job.
Take a look in <configRoot>/alfresco/index-recovery-context.xml

The section you will be interested in is:

<property name="executeFullRecovery">
    <value>false</value>                 <!– enable this to start the full index recovery –>
</property>‍‍‍

Change this to 'true' and restart you app server for your indexes to be rebuilt.

Hope this helps.

Are there better ways than restarting the application server to trigger Alfresco to reindex?

Hi

Not at the moment.

Retrying failed transforms is on the todo list.
