Maximum Allowable Docs Reached

I’ve seen several messages about this issue. We have an agent that deletes mail older than 150 days; on those mailfiles with large numbers of docs, the agent fails.

"Started running agent ‘Delete Mail Older Than 150 Days’ on 08/02/2004 01:46:51 AM

Running on all documents in database: 9725 total

ERROR: Maximum allowable documents exceeded for a temporary full text index"

Is the only/best option to put the variable below in the INI ?

TEMP_INDEX_MAX_DOC=n

Where “n” equals a number (e.g., 10,000)? Since this agent kicks off once a month at 10pm, will the hit on the server cause any problems?

thanks,

I’d suggest creating a permanent full-text index of those files. It has other uses.

Alternately, you could make your agent more efficient by not doing the search for old documents in the document selection criteria. Instead, use a view that’s sorted by date modified, and process documents from oldest to newest until you come to one that’s more recent than your cutoff.
