Restore the Communities catalog index
If you are not seeing data in the communities views...
- I'm an Owner
- I'm a Member
- I'm Following
- I'm Invited
- Public Communities
...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.
