Indexing and search utilities
awindexerutil
Refreshes indexed objects if you make changes to them and you want the synchronization flow to refresh the index for those objects. The awindexerutil utility marks those objects to be picked up during the next synchronization flow batch. This allows you to update the index without the downtime of a full index flow. You can refresh your index for only the delta of changes since the last completed synchronization. You can index changes for types and properties that have been added, modified, or removed, by performing a delta update. Running awindexerutil does not interfere with current synchronization flows. Run the utility from the TC_ROOT\bin directory (TC_BIN if it's set). Syntax awindexerutil -u=user-id -p=password -g=group [-refresh] [-delta [-dryrun] [-daterange]] -h Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. The user needs administration privileges. Note If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the user and password arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. -p Specifies the password. -g Specifies the group associated with the user. -refresh Starts the synchronization flow according to the batch size. -delta Updates the index for the delta of changes to object types and properties since the last completed synchronization. Be sure to run -delta -dryrun to evaluate the changes before running the -delta index update. Use this approach to . -dryrun Use with -delta to compare the changes in object types and properties for delta reindexing. No indexing is performed. The differences are output to the command window and a log file. The .log file path is returned after the operation is complete. -daterange Use with -delta or -delta -dryrun to set a date range for object types and properties that can be indexed in the updated schema. To set the date range, use the following year-month-day form: YYYY/mm/dd HH:MM:SS-YYYY/mm/dd HH:MM:SS The time (HH:MM:SS) is optional. You can specify multiple ranges in a comma-separated list. If the specified date range contains spaces, enclose the entire specification in quotation marks. -classification Used together with the -delta argument, evaluates the schema files and marks the changes in classification data for indexing in the next scheduled indexing synchronization run. Run the utility with the -classification -delta -dryrun arguments to receive a list of changes that will be marked for indexing when the awindexerutil is run. -h Displays help for this utility. Examples Start the synchronization flow to refresh data objects: Copy awindexerutil -u=admin -p=pwd -g=group -refresh Start the dry run comparison of the delta of indexing changes. All instances of new, modified, and deleted types and properties are identified. For newly indexed types, only those instances that were changed during the specified date range (2012/12/12 - 2016/12/31) are included. Only a report is returned. No indexing changes are made. Copy awindexerutil -u=admin -p=pwd -g=group -delta -dryrun -daterange=2012/12/12-2016/12/31 Start reindexing the delta of changes. Updates all new, modified, and deleted types and properties. Copy awindexerutil -u=admin -p=pwd -g=group -delta Start reindexing the delta of changes. Updates all new, modified, and deleted types and properties. For types that are newly added, only those objects last modified in the specified date range are indexed. Copy awindexerutil -u=admin -p=pwd -g=group -delta -daterange= "2015/12/12 15:30:00 - 2015/12/31 22:00:00, 2016/02/01 07:00:00
- 2016/12/31 14:00:00" Mark changes in classification data for indexing: Copy awindexerutil -u=admin -p=pwd -g=group -delta -classification
