Local full text index error "you are not authorized to perform that operation"

Hi. I have one laptop user with a number of replicated databases. He has reported a number of times since the upgrade from 8.5.3FP6 to 9.0.1FP4 that the status icon on his local full text index on his mail file goes yellow.

On further research, his log file is showing the following entries:

and the next day…shows that the indexer is still working on some documents

Apart from deleting the local index (including the .ft directory remnants if any), what else can I do to diagnose which db is throwing the error and ultimately resolve the error.

Thanks

Hi Tim,

It looks like it might be an issue with some specific databases:

08/08/2015 09:24:46 AM Updating took over 30 minutes for mail\smay.nsf
11/08/2015 07:13:11 AM Updating took over 30 minutes for SNFdbs\SForms.nsf

I’d recommend running maintenance on these databases to see if it resolves the issue.

Thanks,

Mark

Hello Tim
is it just the one database affected ?
Check the client is using the correct user id ,
what is the ACL for the db and the user role ?

following debug to the notes.ini will help

NOTES.INI settings active during this test:
DEBUG_INDEXER=2
LOG_UPDATE=1
DEBUG_UPDATE=1
DEBUG_FTV_INDEX=1
