Verifying file content extraction

Verify that the Search application is extracting file content on a regular basis by checking entries in the SystemOut.log file.

During index building, files are extracted to the directory defined by the IBM® Application Server WebSphere® variable EXTRACTED_FILE_STORE. The files are not currently used after the index is built, although they are left in place for potential use by future features.

  1. To verify that Search is extracting file content on a regular basis, complete the following steps.

  2. Open the SystemOut.log file that corresponds to the application server instance on which Search is running and look for the following log messages:

    IndexBuilderQ > com.ibm.lotus.connections.search.admin.index.impl.IndexBuilderQueue 
  startDocumentIndexingService ENTRY
IndexBuilderQ < com.ibm.lotus.connections.search.admin.index.impl.IndexBuilderQueue 
  startDocumentIndexingService RETURN
DocumentIndex I com.ibm.lotus.connections.search.service.files.impl.DocumentIndexingServiceImpl 
  isEnvironmentValid - FILE_CONTENT_CONVERSION: 
  /opt/IBM/LotusConnections1/search/search/search/dcs/oiexport/exporter
DocumentIndex I com.ibm.lotus.connections.search.service.files.impl.DocumentIndexingServiceImpl 
  isEnvironmentValid:  true

    By default, this task is scheduled to run every 20 minutes and it includes all the files in the Wikis and Files applications.

    You should also see the following log messages in the SystemOut.log file for the default 20 minute file content indexing task:

    IndexingNotif I   CLFRW0042I: HCL Connections scheduled task 
   20min-file-retrieval-task fired event TaskNotificationInfo.FIRING
IndexingNotif I   CLFRW0042I: HCL Connections scheduled task 
   20min-file-retrieval-task fired event TaskNotificationInfo.FIRED
IndexingNotif I   CLFRW0042I: HCL Connections scheduled task 
   20min-file-retrieval-task fired event TaskNotificationInfo.SCHEDULED
