Search server status tab
The Server Status tab checks the Search log file, the crawling version file, and the index ready file from the node the request is sent to.

Check installed services
Return all the installed services defined in LotusConnections-config.xml. The data is informative and can be used to verify the expected applications are installed. By default, a single task crawls and indexes all the installed applications.
Check resume tokens
Resume tokens are related to incremental indexing of content, which keeps changing as users interact with a live system. The search engine tracks the information about the last successful crawling time of updated content. This crawl information is referred to as "resume tokens".
Checking the resume tokens queries the database, and returns resume tokens in a readable format. The next indexing task indexes all the content for the component from the date and time specified in resume tokens. If crawling and indexing uses the default configuration as configured, resume tokens is no more than 15 minutes old. If the crawling interval is modified, check the value of resume tokens is no more than the newly configured crawling interval. For example, if the crawling and indexing interval is one hour then the resume token value should not be older than one hour.
Check the schedule calendars are configured correctly
Correctly configured calendars are highlighted in a green text box. Calendars not configured correctly are highlighted in a red text box. Search tasks do not run on any calendars marked in red. Review SystemOut.log for errors.
Check that WebSphere variables are set
Verifies the WebSphere variables used by the search service have a valid value. Correctly configured variables are highlighted in a green text box. If the variable is not set and the variable is optional, the variable details are shown in a yellow text box. If a mandatory variable is not set, the variable details are shown in a red text box. These variables must be set in the WebSphere Administration Console.
Check for enabled indexing tasks
Display the default Search scheduled tasks are enabled in a green text box. If there are no default Search tasks enabled, this section is empty. No information is provided on custom tasks. The data in this section is informational.
Check the index folder for required files
Determines whether the Search index folder on the node contains two mandatory files, INDEX.READY and CRAWLING_VERSION. If INDEX.READY is not available, review the errors that are highlighted in Review the SystemOut Log Exceptions tab.
Review the configuration files
Determines whether the mandatory configuration files are in the configuration directory. If present, the file name is returned in a green text box. If missing, this is highlighted in a red text box. Missing files must be created, and placed in the default configuration directory.
Check the number of enabled dictionaries
Return the number of dictionaries that are enabled. During installation, only the English language dictionary is enabled by default. When the organization spans multiple geographies and multiple languages, enable the relevant language dictionaries for the deployment to ensure that Search returns optimum results. To enable Search dictionaries, see Enable dictionaries.
Check that the nodes are in sync
Indicates whether the indexes on the nodes of a multi-node system are replicated correctly. In a multi-node system the index on each node must be mirrors of each other. This section also verifies the indexes were updated in the last 30 days. A message stating the nodes are not blocked is displayed in a green text box, this is an informational message and no action is required.If the indexes are in date, the message "All nodes are in date" is displayed in a green text box. An index is considered to be in date if it has been updated in the last 30 days. Connections applications maintain delete and access-control update information for a maximum of 30 days. If indexing is not performed on an index for 30 days, that index is considered to be out-of-date and reindexing is necessary. If the index is out of date on each node, delete and re-create the index to ensure data integrity. See Recreating the search index.
If the cluster contains nodes with an index that is in date and a node with an index that is out of date...
- Back up the index from the node that is in date.
- Copy the index to a location that can be accessed by all nodes.
- Restore the backed up index to the node containing the out of date index.
When the indexes on each node have the same data, they are in sync and the message "All nodes are in sync" is displayed in a green text box. If the nodes are not in sync, there may be a problem. Review the SystemOut Log Exceptions tab
Checking database records
The value returned for the message:
The number of documents in the database is
...shows how many crawled documents are in the database, and are due to be indexed by one or more nodes. A value of 0 indicates that all the documents are processed since the last crawl.
The value returned for the message:
The number of files converted is
...shows how many files marked as converted is the database.
The value returned for the message:
The total number of files in the database
...is the total of converted and unconverted files in the database. A file is marked as converted when the content in the file is extracted on the file system, and is ready to be indexed.
The data that is provided in this section is informational and no action is required.
