Reindexing livelink 9.1

[Argo08]

We are running Livelink version 9.1 and have detected that the index folder takes around 22 GB of disk space. Does anybody know how to reindex the database? because the index is growing faster....

The size of the Index depends on the amount of data in your system and what is currently being processed, 22Gb may be an acceptable size depending on your system.

What do you see on the Enterprise Data Source Folder screen that shows the indexing jobs and IPool messages ?

How big is your DocStore ?

Is there a reason you have not upgraded to a newer version of Livelink yet, don't believe this version is supported by OpenText any more.

as Greg correctly points out the search indexing part of livelink has tremendously improved so you are most likely to see an extremely compact index folder once you upgrade to the current version.No livelink upgrade is a cake walk,you may need additional hardware to accomodate the new search paradigm(metadata in RAM),test any customizations,changes to schema etc etc.Also in your case you may have to go thru a series of supported upgardes,maybe from 9.1 to 9.5 SP1 to 9.7 SP1 (I am making this up you have to check the supported way of doing this).
Please visit the upgrades section of the livelink ECM KB.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Hi,

depending on the amount of meta-data to take into account (see the Regions properties of your Search Engine), your index may have the same size than your document storage, and thus is growing the same way. As long as you don't encouter any problem with the info retrieval or disk space, you don't need to re-index.
