Indexing and Updating Properties
Note
Using this function clears the link status database of all current link checking
information. You must recheck your links after indexing files.
To index and update properties, perform the following steps:
1.
From the Enterprise Server, choose Web Publishing.
2.
Click Index and Update Properties.
The Index and Update Properties page appears.
3.
Choose the path of the directory to be indexed.
The Document Directory field displays the currently selected directory. You
can index documents in the primary document directory, an additional
document directory, or in a subdirectory.
If you want to index a different directory, click the View button to see a list
of directories. You can index any directory that is listed or you can view the
subdirectories in a listed directory, and index one of those instead.
Once you click the index link for a directory, you return to the Index and
Update Properties page and the directory name appears in the Document
Directory field.
Note
You cannot use this function to index files that are larger than 3MB in size.
You can, however, do an automatic indexing of such large files through the
Property Sheet in Web Publisher (through the Web Publisher View
Properties menu command) by checking “Make contents searchable”.
Unix. You can index the contents of your users’ files and folders that are in
their default user home directories as defined by the Content Management |
User Document Directories function. For example, if user document
directories are active on your server and the default ~USERNAME/
public_html
has been defined for your server, that entry is displayed as
one of the permitted document directories you can index. This indexes all
user document directories that exist currently on your server according to
the criteria you select in the Index and Update Properties page.
4.
If you also want to index the subdirectories within the specified directory,
click Include Subdirectories.
