USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION

Creating and updating the Domain Index
The indexing server relies on the Domain Catalog to tell it which databases and file systems to include in the Domain Index. You use the Server document to enable the Domain Indexer task and set a schedule for it to run. By default, the Domain Indexer task runs once an hour.

To set the Domain Indexer task

1. If you have Web clients, make sure you have set up the indexing server, as well as each server to be spidered by the indexer, as a Domino Web server.

2. Make sure you have created the Domain Catalog on the indexing server.


3. From the Domino Administrator, select the server that you want to be the indexing server.

4. Click the Configuration tab.

5. Expand the Server section in the view pane.

6. Click Current Server Document.

7. Click "Edit Server," and then click the Server Tasks - Domain Indexer tab.

8. In the Schedule field, select Enabled.

9. Click OK.

10. Set the indexing schedule to meet the needs of your organization.

11. Select the servers that you want to include in the index in the "Limit domain wide indexing to the following servers" field. Use wildcard characters to index all servers certified with a specific certifier -- for example */Sales/East/Acme. If the field is blank (default), the Domain Indexer indexes all databases for which the "Include in multi database indexing" property is enabled.

12. If you have Web clients, do the following to allow the indexing server to form valid URLs when the results of a search are displayed in a browser:


13. Click "Save and Close."

14. Restart the server by entering this command:


Note The indexing server must complete the initial indexing pass before users can perform searches. Check the Domain Indexer Status view in the Domain Catalog to be sure the initial pass is complete.
