19.2 Controlling Indexing

GroupWise uses QuickFinder technology to index messages and documents stored in post offices. You can control indexing in the POA console. For example, if you just imported a large number of documents, you could start indexing immediately, rather than waiting for the next scheduled indexing cycle.

  1. In the POA console, click Configuration > QuickFinder Indexing.

  2. Select Update Indexes Only, then click Submit.

    To avoid overloading the POA with indexing processing, a maximum of 500 items are indexed per database. If a very large number of messages are received regularly, or if a user with a very large mailbox is moved to a different post office (requiring the user’s messages to be added into the new post office indexes), you might need to repeat this action multiple times in order to get all messages indexed.

    QuickFinder indexes are automatically compressed at midnight each night to conserve disk space. You can start compression at any other time from the POA server console. For example, if you just imported and indexed a large number of documents and are running low on disk space, you could compress the indexes immediately, rather than waiting for it to happen at midnight.

  3. Select Compress Indexes Only, then click Submit.

    A variety of other indexing tasks can be done in the POA console. Click Help for details.
