Hello.When you create a full text index where does the index actually get put? Is it in the nsf file itself or is it in a file somewhere else.
When you replicate a database with a full text index does the index get replicated with it?
Many thanks in advance.

Its in the file system, not in the nsf, so it won’t get replicated.
OK, maybe I shouldn’t argue like that: View indices are stored within the nsf, but are still not replicated.

It is in a folder named like the db filename
Like Admin\mydb.nsf
the index folder will be in admin\mydb.ft
it is always a .FT
You can see it form the admin console of via the OS

Many thanks guys! That’s clear now.Just one more question…
Is there a way of creating the fti on all the replicas centrally from the original database.
We have many hundreds of replicas on different servers and we don’t want to have to go into all of them individually to create the full text index.
Thanks

Not directly, but you can check, if a FT index exists and create one if necessary through a scheduled LotusScript agent. Take care to select runs on “Any server” in the schedule for such an agent.

If you’re creating a new replica from the client, you can select “Create full text index for searching” under the Replica Settings.

Use the CreateFTIndex method
Usage
This method works only for local databases.
So you will have to run it under the authority of the server.
