Capturing Indexing Failures

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I wanted to know whether is there any way to capture indexing failures.

The requirement is if the indexing fails it should send an email out reporting the failure.

System Details:

BI 4.1 SP02 Platform

CMS and Audit databases running on DB2

Windows 2008 R2 Server

Thanks.

hi Prathmesth,

BI 4 has introduced Monitoring. Monitoring has a Alert feature where an alert generated by BO is emailed to you. To answer your question specifically you can actually enable probes and watches that will help you to capture the failure of Explorer Indexing.

You can create a probe for "Explorer indexing" and then use a watch on the probe. an alert will be generated in form of email once indexing fails. That said please go thru the following links to understand Monitoring. In case you are already familiar with this, then go thru "Developing and deploying custom Java Probes" to create your own probe that can detect when Explorer Indexing fails.

Please share your results as this it would be very interesting. Thanks

If case you are not familiar please go thru the following:
