IBM Content Analytics with Enterprise Search, Version 3.0.0                  

Stopping collection servers or the entire system

If you make changes to a collection, or if you need to troubleshoot problems, you might need to stop and restart the servers for a collection or the entire IBM® Content Analytics with Enterprise Search system.

You can stop the servers independently of each other. For example, if you stop and restart a crawler to incorporate changes that you made to its configuration, you do not need to stop and restart the search servers.

To stop the servers for a collection:

  1. On the Collections view, expand the collection that you want to administer.
  2. To stop one or more crawlers, go to the Crawl and Import pane, click an icon to stop a specific crawler or click the icon to select multiple crawlers and stop them at the same time.

    If you change the crawl space or crawler properties, stop and restart the crawler to incorporate the changes. If you change the crawl space and want to apply the changes to documents that are already indexed, you must also recrawl the documents.

  3. To stop the parser services, go to the Parse and Index pane and click the icon to stop the document processing servers. If you click Details, you can stop and restart individual document processing servers and restart index builds.

    When you change the rules for parsing data, stop and restart the parser to incorporate the changes. The changes apply only to newly crawled documents. To apply the changes to documents that are already in the index, you must start a full crawl to recrawl all of the documents or rebuild the index from the document cache.

  4. To stop the search servers, go to the Search pane or Analytics pane and click the icon to stop the search servers. If you click Details, you can stop and restart individual search servers. Typically, you need to stop and restart the search servers only when you change the search cache or document summary settings.

Stopping the entire system

To stop the entire system instead of the servers for a collection:

  1. Log in as the default IBM Content Analytics with Enterprise Search administrator. In a multiple server system, log in on any system server.
  2. Stop all system components: esadmin system stopall
