What type of IDOL license are you using? When IDOL is running off an OEM license, communications are encrypted which means that it is not possible to directly query IDOL via the browser.
You can only perform Index commands i.e DRE.. from the browser however with action= commands i.e ACI commands, you cannot.

There is no defined limit to max files per CE. However, you don’t want the CE’s total storage too big, in order to keep each one relatively portable, acceptably fast to backup/recover, etc. It’s better to spread the content over more CEs from a performance point of view.

In general the rate at which DRECOMPACT is decided on how quickly the index becomes fragmented. For example if the engine is 20% fragmented after a month since the last compaction then one compact every month might be ideal. If the engine is 20% fragmented every day then compacting on a daily basis may be ideal.

20% fragmentation would indicate a 20% variance between committed documents and document sections.
For example if <committed_documents>1200000</committed_documents> and <document_sections>1000000</document_sections>.

Hi Keith,

What type of IDOL license are you using? When IDOL is running off an OEM license, communications are encrypted which means that it is not possible to directly query IDOL via the browser.

K: Thanks Keith and I am getting some idea now. I feel it may be OEM license then. However, I am not sure where and how to check this? Please advice on this. If DRE command not run via browser, then how to run and any smaple commad to check ? 

There is no defined limit to max files per CE. However, you don’t want the CE’s total storage too big, in order to keep each one relatively portable, acceptably fast to backup/recover, etc. It’s better to spread the content over more CEs from a performance point of view.

K: We do have 3 Content Engine and 1 IDOL Server, but only one Index and 3 Action running. Index server appraching close to 500 GB, So thinking to increse the space of the drive or run DRECOMPACT or Add one more Content engine?

In general the rate at which DRECOMPACT is decided on how quickly the index becomes fragmented. For example if the engine is 20% fragmented after a month since the last compaction then one compact every month might be ideal. If the engine is 20% fragmented every day then compacting on a daily basis may be ideal.

20% fragmentation would indicate a 20% variance between committed documents and document sections.
For example if <committed_documents>1200000</committed_documents> and <document_sections>1000000</document_sections>.

K: I would like to get this variance to see the difference between committed documents and document sections via IndexerGetstatus and unable to run.

Kuth,

Please open a support ticket with the details and we can take a look at your license and investigate this further.

regards,

Keith
