Restore the Communities catalog index


If you are not seeing data in the communities views...

...the Communities catalog index may be corrupted.

Tp fix, we can clear, and then rebuild, the index. The CATALOG_INDEX_DIR and CATALOG_REPLICATION_DIR define the location of the catalog index directory, and the replication directory. The catalog index is rebuilt when the next scheduled crawl takes place.

  1. Log in to IBM Connections as the catalog administrator and go to disable all the crawlers
