Maintaining Smart Discovery Indexing

Delete the Smart Discovery index of a product using Teamcenter command prompt

Warning: Deleting the Smart Discovery index of a product for performance improvements or for fixing issues must be performed only if absolutely needed, as this disables the Smart Discovery Indexing process for the product, and the product may have to be reindexed. Reindexing may take several days to complete depending on the size of the product.

To delete the Smart Discovery index, run:

smart_discovery_index -u=<user_id> -p=<password> -delete -product=<product_id>

Deleting the Smart Discovery index of a product does not modify its structure and the product can be reindexed.

Tip: Deleting the Smart Discovery index of a product can improve the search and filtering performance of the remaining products. Purge legacy data of a product that is frozen, released, or retired.
