Clear Indexed Documentation

You can clear an index from the Knowledge Center repository. Clearing an index is necessary to verify that previously indexed documentation no longer appears in the search. This task can be necessary when the information is outdated or incorrect. Clearing an index is required when you remove an existing index and create another index.

Note: Access to the Knowledge Center configuration is restricted. The Administration Guide contains information about defining this access permission. To gain access, contact your Security Administrator.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the wrench icon in the Knowledge Center window.

    The Knowledge Center Settings dialog opens.

  2. Remove all folders from the Folders to Index pane and click Index.

    A dialog appears to confirm the deletion of the existing indexes.

  3. Click Yes.

    Existing user indexes are removed from the Knowledge Center repository.

    Note: You cannot remove certain types of indexed documentation, such as CA or International DB2 Users Group (IDUG) documentation.
