Troubleshoot structures

Understand the issues that come while indexing the structures and their possible resolutions. Issue Possible resolution TcFTSIndexer output indicates a type definition does not exist The following message is displayed in output after running the runTcFTSIndexer utility: Copy Type definition for type does not exist. Supported Type [objdata] The Active Content Structure features are not installed. Rerun the Teamcenter Environment Manager(TEM) and select all Active Content Structure features. Indexes are in failure states. Use the -task=structure:recoverfailures argument. Examine the log output for details on the failures. Changes to structured content do not appear immediately in searches. Changed data is shown immediately in searches when users add, remove, or change elements (occurrences or BOM lines). However, when users change the underlying objects to which occurrences or BOM lines refer, the changed data is not shown immediately in the content. This includes: Revisions to the underlying object. Releasing the underlying object. Changing effectivity on the release status. Changing properties on the underlying object. Users see these changes in the content the next time data is indexed.

Note The interval between indexing synchronizations is set by the search administrator. Structure indexing fails for Working (Owning User = Current) revision rule. Only Working () and Override Folder () revisions rules are supported. Any rules apart from these, for example, Working (Owning User = Current) or Override Folder (Newstuff), are not supported. Use a revision rule other than these for the structure indexing to work.
