Managing the index service

Index services that are set up for iBase databases are managed using the Index Service Configuration tool. Using the Index Service Configuration tool rather than modifying the index service directly through SQL Server prevents synchronization issues.

Procedure

  • To modify the schedule for the index service, click Configure.

  • To stop or suspend the index service, click Configure and turn off the Enabled checkbox.

    Note: This allows iBase users to continue to search but without any updates for new information.

  • To remove the index service, for example before moving the database or uninstalling the Index Service Configuration tool, click Delete. This deletes the job and prevents the index tool from running.

    Note: The database (IBaseIndexDB) and configuration file (Searching Config.xml) should be included in your backup schedule. Losing either of these files will require you to reconfigure your iBase databases for indexing.
