Resolving index deletion failures

For an index job with a TERMINATED ABNORMALLY status, check whether Content Engine has failed to delete unused index files. An index file can become unused as a result of the reindexing that is performed for an index job. Usually, Content Engine deletes unused index files automatically, but in some cases the index deletion fails. In these cases, the index job completes successfully except for the index deletion. Do not resubmit the index job.

To check index deletion for an unsuccessfully completed index job:

  1. Search the Content Engine error log for CBR_TS_INDEX_DATA_DELETE_FAILED errors.
  2. If the log indicates that an index file could not be deleted, see Deleting an unused index. Delete the specified index directory manually.
