Pega CLSA Guide Book 1 - Performing Re-Indexing of Search Index


In general, this should be a simple task, You can access this using: Designer Studio > System > Settings > Search, as shown below:

Figure 34: Accessing Pega Search Index

As you would again realise, the steps provided in the CLSA document is not updated.

Anyway, after clicking the menu item, you would see the following:
Figure 35: Pega Search Index Screen

There is really no magic here, basically, just scroll down and take note of the following:
Figure 36: Search Index Agent Information and Search Index Host Node Setting

For the “Agent information” section, take note that the Queue size MUST be zero, if it is not, then very likely, you are having some agent issue. Ask the Pega Community for help or contact CLSA Team. The other important section is “Search index host node setting”. You need to ensure that the “Node Status” is “online”, as shown above. If it is not, again, shout for help!

Scroll back to the top, and under the “Index administration” section, ensure the indexes are enabled. 
Figure 37: Index Administration with Core Indexes Enabled

By default, the “All work” is not ticked. This does not really matter.

Click the Check button one-by-one, make sure you have a message indication that all are well as shown below:
Figure 38: Diagnostic Messages of the Search Indexes

If you are curious, you can always try to click the “Re-index” button, and you should see this:
Figure 39:Re-Indexing Dialog Box

Just go ahead and select “All Classes”.
 
Figure 40: Re-Indexing Confirmation Window

Observe the index, it should be progressing as shown below:
Figure 41: Re-Indexing in Progress

Once everything is done, you will be back to the screen, showing the completed index sizes.

Of course, Murphy’s Law applies, if it is not broken, don’t fix it, unless you have a lot of time to play around with it.
