Indexing existing records for the first time

If you have an existing user database that you are upgrading to use the ClearQuest full-text search feature, index the records before enabling this feature.
Before you begin
About this task
To index the user database records in batch mode, perform the following steps:
  1. Run the record extractor from the command line in batch mode (cqperl cqtsdbcrawler.pl -batch). See the cqtsdbcrawler.pl reference help for details.
  2. If problem records are encountered when you run the record extractor in batch mode, a repair file is created in the same directory as the ClearQuest search properties file, CQ-db_name-dbset_name.xml, for each set of problem records that are processed by this instance of the batch-mode record extractor. After the batch mode record extractor completes, run the record extractor in repair mode (cqperl cqtsdbcrawler.pl -repair) by using the repair files as input. See the cqtsdbcrawler.pl reference help for usage information.
    Attention: If you stop the batch-mode record extractor before it completes, you can restart it to resume processing from where you left off. You can also re-index records that you previously indexed by deleting the file batch_recovery.properties, which is located in the same directory as the ClearQuest search properties file.
