FTI issue

Hi Andrei

In relation to your isue creating a new FTI .. here are some possibilities .

1> Check the Notes.ini for any FT settings ? > there may be some preventing the new FTI

Also check that the user \ system has the correct file permissions

2> Is the FT directory on a separate drive or SAN \ NAS ?
Does it actually run out of space , are you just seeing any message ?

3> When deleting the FTI did you also delete the corresponding .ft folder from the domino \ data folder

This is recommended way to completely delete and recreate the FTI is to

a> Delete the index from the data= base properties tab
b> Delete the .ft folder from the hard drive
c> Recreate the FTI =

4> Check the database properties if it is preventing the FTI creation :
In the database property > Don't allow simple search
The database property, Don't allow s= imple search, positively impacts server performance by preventing users from searching databases that do not have full-text search enabled.
Don't allow simple search is an adva= nced database property.
Setting advanced database properties=
1. = ;From the IBM=AE Lotus=AE Domino=AE Administrator, click Files - Application - Pr= operties.
2. = ;Click the Advanced tab. (The icon on this tab is a beanie.)
3. = ;Enable any listed database property by clicking the corresponding check box.

2>Syntax: Update=5FNo=5FFul= ltext=3Dvalue
Description: Turns off full-te= xt indexing on a server.
0 - Turns full-text indexing on
1 - Turns full-text indexing off
Applies to: Servers
Default: None, although if this setting is omitted, full-text indexing is on.
UI equivalent: None, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configura= tion Settings document in the Domino Directory.

If issue persists ..try some debug to see if there are any error messages

NOTES.INI settings active during this test:
DEBUG=5FINDEXER=3D2

DEBUG=5FFTV=5FINDEX=3D1

Hope this helps !
