1.3.8.6.4. LinkDB search index

Create LinkDB search index / Create all LinkDB search indexes / Create not existing LinkDB search index / Update LinkDB search indexes (on project level)

[Note]Note

Please make sure that the LinkDB search index is created anew when manually adding projects to the link database or changing role settings.[a]

Server requirement for this is at least 32GB RAM.

[a] In productive operation, normally this will happen in the course of nightly updates (see Section 4.14.3.3, “Automated and cyclical update of data ”).

You can find the respective command in PARTadmin -> Index administration -> Context menu command of catalog.

The blue database icon shows that a LinkDB index is available (but not necessarily up-to-date), otherwise it is gray with a red x .

The LinkDB search index contains all role information.

When roles changed, in PARTadmin, a message appears pointing out that the LinkDB search index has to be updated.

Ideally, the LinkDB search index should be updated for all used catalogs. (The time requirement is manageable.)

Relevant role changes are: (see Section 4.7.3.1, “ Roles: Tabbed page "General" ”)

  • Preferred ranges

  • Filter condition for datasets

  • Viewing condition for table rows

  • Columns to be displayed

  • Columns not to be displayed (export only)

  • Display condition for parts selection

If search indices are not available or free from errors, in PARTdataManager, the message Missing search indexes is displayed.

When starting PARTdataManager, it is checked whether all indices are available and free from errors. If not, the dialog Missing search indexes is displayed with a respective note.
