Restore the search index
If you have created a backup copy of the search index, you can use this copy to restore the index in the event of loss or corruption.
For information about creating a backup copy of the search index, see Backing up the search index.To restore the search index in the event of loss or corruption...IBM Lotus Connections features maintain delete and access-control update information for a maximum of 30 days. Indexes that are more than 30 days old are not considered suitable for restoration because they might contain obsolete or orphan content.
- Stop the search server.
- Delete the index and all its subdirectories from the IBM Lotus Connections search data
- Copy the backup index and all its subdirectories into the search
- Restore the HOMEPAGE.SR_FILESCONTENT table. Import the previously-exported contents of the HOMEPAGE.SR_FILESCONTENT table if available.
- Restart the server. The next indexing task resumes indexing at the point at which the restored index was last successfully indexed.
