By default term (keyword) indexing is run immediately after a user saves a record in Inscribe or import a batch of data in Studio. Since term indexing is a database intensive process, this can affect system performance.

This can be postponed so that the process is only run once a day during off-peak hours. 

The side effect of this setting is that the changes would not show up in keyword searches in Insight, Inscribe and BrowserInsight (does not include LUNA) until after the next term indexing.

In InsightServer.dat under the collection manager directory on the server, uncomment and set the following values and then restart the collection manager:


MedeAutoTermIndexingMode = 2

MedeBackgroundTermIndexingMinutes = 1440

MedeBackgroundTermIndexingFirstTime = 0230


The above settings configure the collection manager to run term indexing in background, once every 1440 minutes (1 day), starting from 2:30am.
