Changing the status of an index

Change the status of an index to OPEN or CLOSED to control index use. You can also indirectly change the status to FULL.

To directly change the status of an index:

  1. Working with index area properties. Access the properties for the index area.
  2. Click the Index tab.
  3. Select the index in the Index List.
  4. If you want to change the Index Status property value to OPEN from FULL, the maximum index size must be greater than the current index size. For information about setting the maximum index size, see Setting the maximum size for an index.
  5. Set the value of the Index Status property.
  6. Click OK.

To indirectly change the status of an index to FULL:

  1. Setting the maximum size for an index. Set the maximum index size to be less then the current size of the index.
  2. Reindexing an object. Reindex an object that is indexed in that index. (Content Engine does not automatically change the status to FULL until the index is updated.)
