Important structure content indexing files

Understand key files involved in Teamcenter's structure content indexing. The following files are used in structure content indexing: Configuration file Copy TC_ROOT\TcFTSIndexer\conf\TcFtsIndexer_structure.properties file This properties file configures the structure indexing including the type, flows, steps, and actions. Most of the content in this file should not be modified. There is one set of properties that configures control logic to limit the number of concurrent sync operations, weighting the different types of sync actions (initial versus update) differently. The reason for the different weighting is that initial sync processing is a much more resource intensive operation on the tcserver instance and database processes. Default values are shown in the file as follows: Copy #

control the number of concurrent structure syncs to limit server and oracle load

permits.total=7 permits.required.initialsync=3 permits.required.updatesync=1 For a given type of sync actions to run (initial or update), it must be able to obtain the required number of permits for that type. There is a limited (total) number of permits that can be used at any given time. Any sync operation that cannot obtain the required permits waits until other sync processing finishes, releasing more permits. This controls the load on the servers during the sync processing. The combinations of sync processes that can run concurrently: 0 initialsync actions and up to 7 updatesync actions 1 initialsync actions and up to 4 updatesync actions 2 initialsync actions and only 1 updatesync action When making changes to these values also consider the maximum number of connections properties found in the TcFtsIndexer.properties file. Logging configuration file Copy TC_ROOT\TcFTSIndexer\conf\log4j.properties This file is used to change the logging level. (The default logging level for the TcFTSIndexer process is INFO.) Log file Copy TC_ROOT\TcFTSIndexer\logs\TcFtsIndexer.log Cache files Copy TC_ROOT\TcFTSIndexer\cache*.cache These files may need to be deleted if Teamcenter preferences are changed that affect the Solr installation and FMS.
