Perform Maintenance

This Help topic refers to the following versions;

þ Enterprise þ Professional þ Personal þ Small Business

 

 

This administrator feature is found on the right click menu of the DocuXplorer object (Library, Cabinet or Drawer). By default Perform Maintenance will rebuild indexes for both index and document content data. When rebuilding indexes DocuXplorer will also reindex all full text document content index data. Reindexing document content will index any changes made to a document after it was initially added to the DocuXplorer Library. Administrators can also choose to reclaim hard drive space for use by other programs.

 

The Perform Maintenance Dialogue allows administrators to rebuild indexs and reclaim drive space

 

DocuXplorer also allows you to reclaim space on the hard drive that has been allocated to the DocuXplorer database and is no longer being used. This feature will be most valuable in reclaiming space allocated to the Recycle Bin. After the Recycle Bin is emptied of a large number of deleted documents the Library might be reserving more space than is actually needed to store its data. Use this feature to reclaim that space on your hard for use by other programs.

 

You may also reclaim space from Cabinets and Drawers although any allocated space in these objects are made available to new documents after documents are deleted.

 

When indexes are not being maintained Perform Maintenance can also be used to rebuild DocuXplorer indexes.

 

 

Tip:

This function is only available to administrators.

If a document in open this option will be grayed out and unavailable.

To reclaim hard space a user must have sole access to the object being compressed. In Enterprise check the Active User List found under the Tools menu to make sure you are the only user logged in to the program.

If you use the default setting for Full Text Indexing (the default is recommended for increased speed) you should periodically use the Perform Maintenance function to allow DocuXplorer to rebuild the indexes to include any changes made to a document's index information.
