Domain indexer seems not to index

Hi admins,

I am struggling with the domain wide db fulltextsearch.

have a catalog.nsf

have a few dbs with multi-database indexing activated

have the domain indexer scheduler enabled.

I found the indexer in the task list and the new directory ftdomain.di with subdirs (notesDB/IDX…) and got matching docs in the catalog.nsf (Indexer Status …)

But: these subdirs are all empty

and the indexer status docs in the catalog all have no entry for “Last Indexed”.

And any domain search gives me “no documents”

So it looks as if the indexer “has prepared” everything - but do NOT create the ftindexes.

Is sth missing? Did I forget sth?

Thanks for any help in advance,

Uwe

Subject: suggestions…

I don’t know the solution to your problem, but I’ve spent my fair share of time working with the domain indexer task (I use it to index large file systems). Here are some useful console commands:

tell domidx q - Stops indexer

load domidx -d - Deletes the index

load domidx -s - Starts the indexer without a delay

I’d stop the indexer, delete the index, and start it up again. Watch the console for a little while…does the domidx task start listing the databases it is indexing? In domino administrator, does the domain index task use a lot of CPU? If the databases are large, it might take quite a while for the first indexing run to complete…you’ll see high CPU usage (50%-75%) for the domain indexer until it finishes.
