Enabling Indexing for your database

After you are satisfied that your AppData and registry settings are properly configured, verify the following to enable indexing:

To verify AppData

  1. In the left pane of AppData, expand {Global}, and then expand Collections.
  2. Ensure that the value MARK_DB_FOR_INDEX is set to TRUE.

    SeeFigure 1: Global AppData Settings in Adding a New AppData Key.

To verify registry settings

This is typically set by the installer, but you want to ensure that you have added the name of your database to the DATABASES_TO_INDEX registry setting.

Use one of the following command-line tools:

  • Windows

    Contenta_home/bin/regedit

  • Linux

    Contenta_home/bin/fileregedit
