Hi Harsh Parikh, Tech Lead at DevIT Harsh ​,

Given the issue we experienced today with the dtSearch indexing, we should change the time of the indexing to 4am North America Eastern Time. I've checked the analytics and this is the lowest usage hour.

Also, let's implement this along the the update next week.

Thanks,

Hi Morgan Maguire, CEO Morgan ,

We have successfully updated the DTSearch version on server. It has been updated for both ISLG and ILG applications.

We have also changed the Indexing time on server. As per your above comment, we have set 4 AM North America Eastern Time.
Morgan Maguire, CEO
Great. Thanks Harsh Parikh, Tech Lead at DevIT Harsh . All the searches on ISLG and ILG appear to be working well.

Note that I researched the daily dtSearch indexing reports for ISLG at 1AM North American Eastern Time. Will the timing of these change during the next cycle (i.e. tonight)?

Thanks,

Morgan

Hi Harsh Parikh, Tech Lead at DevIT Harsh and Anil Vaghela Anil ,

In addition to the above, is there a way to configure the dtSearch so that it doesn't disrupt the search for front-end users while it is indexing? For example, is there a way to make it so the index happens in the background while maintaining the old index on the front-end until the new index is ready. That way we could avoid the 10-15 minute disruption. Also, if could serve as a backup in the event that something goes wrong with the index, which would avoid some of the problems we've experienced in the past.

Thanks,

Morgan

Hi Morgan Maguire, CEO Morgan ,

We will think to do following steps :

1) Daily DTSearch Indexing Files will create in One seprate Folder 
2) After Completing DTSearch  Indexing , We can replace our old indexing folder files with new indexing files in same folder.

This replacing files process will hardly take 5 minutes.

Hope this is fine.

Hi Harsh Parikh, Tech Lead at DevIT Harsh ,

The works for me. However, does that mean we're manually intervening in an automated process? If so, we can implement this for the time being, but we should develop an automated solution for the new ISLG platform and ILG. I would like to avoid the possibility of issues arising, because of human error.

Hi Morgan Maguire, CEO Morgan ,

This will be fully automated process. By using window service programming, this copy past files process will be done.  No need to copy paste file by manually.
Morgan Maguire, CEO
OK. Great. Thanks Harsh Parikh, Tech Lead at DevIT Harsh . Let's get things implemented as you've suggested then.

Hi Morgan Maguire, CEO Morgan ,

We have developed automated Process and successfully run on www.islg.

Following steps will be run everyday :

1) Everyday DTSearch Indexing files will be created in New Folder at 4:00 AM North America Eastern time

2) Then After, those indexing files will be replaced with our existing files by automated process. This files replacing process will take maximum  2 minutes to replacing all files in our existing folder.
Morgan Maguire, CEO
Perfect. Thanks Harsh Parikh, Tech Lead at DevIT Harsh .

I'll mark this to-do complete.
