BULK: Records are not keyword indexed
- Article Type: General
- Product: Voyager
- Product Version: 9
Problem Symptoms
- After Bulk Importing records, cannot find with keyword search.
- When viewing Titles Index containing imported records, Full Title, Author and Date are empty
- Resaving record populates Titles Index fields
- Import log (log.imp*) has message at end:
On Voyager 9.0.0:
WARNING: Keyword indexes are out of sync.
Run the REGEN utility with the following options enabled:
KEYWORD=Y
TURBOBIBTEXT=Y
MOVEDATAFILES=Y
UPDATEVOYINI=Y
On Voyager 9.1.0 and higher:
***********************************************************
WARNING: Keyword indexes have not been updated. Records
can be found with headings and left-anchored
searches.
To index for keyword searching, please run a
keyword regen via the util menu or using
the standard Cert 300 regen instructions.
***********************************************************
Cause
In Voyager 9.0.0 and higher, the BulkImport default is to import records without keyword indexing, unless otherwise specified (see Additional Information).
Resolution
A keyword regen will index the records. Open a Case with Voyager Support to request a regen during Support hours, or run a regen any time using the UTIL menu:
- On the Voyager server, open the UTIL menu for your xxxdb:
dlib xxxdb
util
- Type I for Index Maintenance option.
- Follow the prompts for Regenerate keyword files for xxxdb (option K).
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
- A keyword regen puts your catalog into read-only mode. Searching can continue, but no records can be updated while the regen is in progress.
- Circulation activity can continue uninterrupted during the keyword regen.
See: UTIL Menu: Running a keyword regen
Or, if the record set is relatively small and can be put into a GDC Record Set easily, a GDC Index Job can keyword index the imported records. See GDC: Purpose of GDC Reindexing job?
Additional Information
If you wish to have keyword indexing done at the time of the import:
- In WebAdmin, check the box for "Generate Keyword Index? Default is no keyword index generated"
- At the command line, add parameter:
