Change the indexing interval

Change the interval for search index rebuilding.

The time interval for rebuilding the search index is set to 30 minutes by default. You can change the search index interval by modifying a setting in the icm.properties file.

1. Edit the icm.properties file. The following lines in the properties file are relevant:

   # index maintenance interval in minutes # This value defaults to 30 if not uncommented and changed.
   jcr.textsearch.indexmaintenance.interval = 30

2. Edit the following line in the file:

   jcr.textsearch.indexmaintenance.interval = 30

3. Set the interval number to the desired value in minutes. For example, if the interval is set to 90 minutes, the line looks like this:

   jcr.textsearch.indexmaintenance.interval = 90

4. Save the properties file.

5. Restart the server.

You may notice a decrease in portal performance of as much as 20 percent while the indexing process is active. Before modifying the search indexing interval, you should consider possible performance impact.
