Error full text indexing

When I try to create a full text index over my mail database, I receive the following error on the status line at the bottom of the Notes Client:

Error ‘Invalid Drive’: Michael J Quigley

I get the same results no matter how I try to create the index. (File, Application Properties, Administrator client, ‘Search this view’, etc.

The log file includes the following entry:

Error full text indexing document NT00000000 \s03\home\pgmmjq\IBMNotes\mquigley.ft (rc=309) Invalid drive

I’ve read other threads about problems with an invalid document. But I cannot locate any document using the ID referenced above. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Michael

Subject: Error full text indexing

The error sounds like an earlier logged issue we have, SPR GFLY6X9RME, which reported that the Full Text Search Engine did not accept \UNC <file://\UNC> filenames. This is an enhancement to review support for that.

Check to see whether you are using a UNC path structure, if so, try the workaround noted in the following technote,

Title: Full-text index creation fails with “Error full text indexing document NT00000000 <path/database.ft> (rc=309) Invalid drive” when using UNC path

Subject: A drive mapping solved the issue

Brandon and Richard,

Thanks so much for your quick and helpful replies. I hadn’t seen the technote. I’m glad there’s an enhancement request in for UNC paths. Changing my path information to a mapped drive-letter solved the issue. Everything seemed to work fine with the single exception of creating a full text index.

Thanks again,

Michael

Subject: Regarding the enhancement request

We could suggest opening a pmr with us and having an engineer add your additional interest onto the existing associated enhancement request spr to add weight on it’s interest of being supplied as a feature in a new/upgraded release.

Subject: try mapping a drive

This technote describes similar error, that was worked around by using a mapped drive instead of UNC path
