How to Optimize the Index to a different location if I don't have enough space on the current Index Folder location.
Before optimizing the Index, make sure that you have enough space, three times larger than the current Index Folder size, on the new drive where the temporary files will be processed. This procedure will be advantageous if disk space is an issue on the current folder where the Index folder resides.
1.) Stop the Archive Manager Full Text Search Service.
2.) Stop and Disable the Archive Manager Full Text Index Service.
3.) Open Task Manager.
4.) Wait for the following Child Processes to complete and stop by itself.
- FtiAttachmentWorker.EXE
- IFilterhost.exe
5.) Create separate folders/subdirectories for the Attachment and Message where the temporary files will be processed.
i.e. D:\IndexTEMP\Attachment
D:\IndexTEMP\Message
6.) Open a Command Prompt and change to the directory where the Archive Manager application files are installed. The default directory is “C:\Program Files\Quest Software\ArchiveManager” or ”C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Software\ArchiveManager”
7.) To optimize both Attachment and Message Indexes, execute the following Command
"Archive Full Text Index Service.exe" -optimize -msgoptpath "D:\IndexTEMP\Message" -attoptpath "D:\IndexTemp\Attachment"
8.) To optimize only the Message and skip the attachment
"Archive Full Text Index Service.exe" -optimize -skipatt -msgoptpath "D:\IndexTEMP\Message"
9.) To optimize only the Attachment and skip the message
"Archive Full Text Index Service.exe" -optimize -skipmsg -attoptpath "D:\IndexTEMP\Attachment"
