CLEAR NSE LOG TABLE ENTRIES ON THE VALUE SET FOR COMMITCOUNT | |

DB2 NET SEARCH / 5765F3800 / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
The index update crashed after processing 700,000 documents.This lead to an abort of the complete index update, and the work of indexing the previous 700,000 documents was lost. Then, the index update is restarted with intermediate commits to at least save the work until the crash. This didn't help to find the 'culprit' document as the log table remained unchanged and was not updated to reflect the already processed documents. Even though the index now contains several hundred thousand successfully indexed documents, that work is completely redone. | |
Problem Summary: | |
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * See Error Description * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * By default, NSE log table will be cleared only at the end of * * update index processing. * * If you would like to clear the log table once the commit is * * finished ( for * * incremental index update with commit count value set ), you * * should set the environmental * * variable "NSE_CLEAR_LOG_ON_COMMIT" before updating the * * index. Here are the steps: * * * * export NSE_CLEAR_LOG_ON_COMMIT=TRUE * * db2set DB2ENVLIST=NSE_CLEAR_LOG_ON_COMMIT * * restart DB2/NSE * * issue the incremental index update with COMMIT COUNT set * **************************************************************** | |
