Structure index life cycle

Understand the different stages of index life cycle and the utility that is responsible for orchestrating the generation and synchronization of the indexes. Over the course of an index life cycle there are 16 possible states. These states represent the current processing or condition the index is in. Following is the life cycle of an index: Created Product configuration parameters are defined but the index data is not yet generated. Active The index data is generated and synchronized periodically. Delete pending The product configuration is marked for deletion, or the delete processing is occurring. Deleted There are no longer any artifacts relating to the index configuration. The current index state and configuration details for product configurations are maintained within the Teamcenter database as unique BOMIndexAdminData table entries. As indexes for product configurations are created, maintained, and then eventually deleted, it is the BOMIndexAdminData table entry that tracks the configuration and state information. The data contained in the BOMIndexAdminData table is often referred to as product configuration, BIAD, or BIADInfo. The BOMIndexAdminData entry for a given product configuration is created (and deleted) using the bomindex_admin command line utility. The TcFTSIndexer is responsible for orchestrating the index generation and synchronization of the indexes defined by the BOMIndexAdminData entries.
