pdm_k_reindex—Knowledge Re-Index Utility

The Knowledge Re-Index utility, pdm_k_reindex.exe, is located under the Knowledge Management installation directory.

Note: Re-indexing the documents in the knowledge base can be a time-consuming operation, depending upon the size of your database. We recommend that you run the Knowledge Re-Index utility after all the changes have been added.

To run Knowledge Re-Index, enter the following command at the command prompt:

pdm_k_reindex

Following are the options available with this command.

Interface:

-D

Defines the debug mode, such as printing to the command window.

-v

Defines the verbose mode, such as printing to the stdlog file.

-i

Does not create table indexes in the re-index table after re-indexing.

Note: Parameters with dash as a prefix, such as “–D”, should precede other parameters that do not have this prefix.

file:reindex.txt

Documents are re-indexed to the appropriate file.

+i

Creates indexes of the re-indexed table only, which is the search table after re-indexing. Old indexes are dropped before re-indexing.

+t

Switches names of search and re-index tables only.

Note: A “+” prefix denotes only this parameter applies.

sdtout

Defines the frequency of statistic appearing in the command window. By default the Knowledge Re-index utility provides statistics into the command window for every 1000 documents processed. However, sometimes statistics are required to be provided more often. Use the following parameter:

pdm_k_reindex -i sdtout:10

In this case, statistics display in the command window for every ten documents.

Important! On UNIX, the LIBPATH must be set before running several CA SDM utilities. Use pdm_task to set the LIBPATH before running a utility. For example, input "pdm_task pdm_clean_attachments ...".
