When you make changes to the structure of promotional content in the Content Manager, or change the navigation index in Fredhopper, you need to reindex your data. (Fredhopper indexes data using live attributes that you have added to the navigation index.)
Procedure
- Make Schema changes in the Content Manager, update Components based on the Schema, and republish the Components to Fredhopper.
- Make attributes live in Fredhopper:
- Open the Fredhopper Business Manager.
- Go to the tab.
- Click a red dot next to an attribute to make it green (live attributes are indicated by a green dot).
- Stop the Index Server and Query Server:

BASE_DIRECTORY\data\instances\INDEXER\data\xml\processed\batch

BASE_DIRECTORY\INDEXER\data\fas-xml\CATALOG
