Configuring the index service

iBase Index Service Configuration is an application that indexes one or more iBase databases for Search 360.

About this task

For each database, you can set up an index service and a job schedule. Each time the job runs, it starts the index service, which obtains the location of the iBase database to index from the index database (IBaseIndexDB). No sensitive information is stored in this database as the index service connects to the SQL Server database using Windows™ authentication.

Procedure

To set up index services for your iBase database:
  1. Make sure the database that you want to configure is closed, and that you are logged in using a suitable Windows or SQL Server account.
  2. Select All Programs > i2 iBase > iBase Index Service Configuration
    Running the Index Service Configuration tool for the first time on the local machine creates a database, called IBaseIndexDB, and creates a file Searching Config.xml in the All Users application data folder on the local machine, specifically: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\i2\i2 iBase 9\<language>\Searching. If necessary, the database name is appended with a number to make this name unique.
    Note: The index database and configuration file should be included in your backup schedule. Losing either of these files requires you to reconfigure your iBase databases for indexing.
  3. Click Add to set up configuration for this database.
  4. Advise the iBase database administrator of the date and time of the first scheduled job as this is not visible in iBase Designer.
