FileNet P8 Content Search Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Planning the IBM Content Search Services upgrade

Empty the IBM® Content Search Services index request table before you upgrade Content Platform Engine.

About this task

For systems configured with IBM Content Search Services, plan to flush as many index requests as possible before starting the upgrade. Part of the automatic upgrade of the Content Platform Engine (or Content Engine) database includes a change to the index request table. If there are more than 500,000 records in that table when the automatic upgrade runs, a new required index will not be created. A message will be logged and the database administrator must manually build the new index before upgrading the IBM Content Search Services software. This index must exist before the Content Platform Engine and IBM Content Search Services software is used for production.

Procedure

To determine the size of the index request table:

  1. Run the following SQL query on the database table associated with the index requests using your native database tools:
    SELECT COUNT (*) FROM IndexRequests
  2. If the SQL query result shows one or more entries, let IBM Content Search Services process the entries before you initiate the upgrade.
