Search Indexes: To Rebuild Search Indexes

The following activity will walk you through the process of rebuilding search indexes.

Attention: This activity is based on the U100 dataset. If you are using another dataset, or if any system settings have been changed in U100, these changes can affect the workflow of the activity and the results of the processing. To avoid any issues, restore the U100 dataset to its initial state.

Acting as the system administrator, you need to investigate the issue, and the first step you plan to take is rebuilding the search index for customer profiles.

You will use the Rebuild Full-Text Entity Index (SM209500) form to rebuild the search index for customer profiles.
