Summary
Your Laserfiche repository's search catalog is a collection of files that enable full text search functionality in your repository.
Version 8.0.1 and later of the Laserfiche 8 Administration Console includes options for managing a repository's search catalog. However, in certain situations, you may be unable to access the search catalog through the Administration Console. One such situation may be if a repository delete operation does not fully complete such that the repository information no longer exists, but search catalog information remains linked to the Laserfiche Search Engine.
Laserfiche Server 8.0.1 and later includes the lfftscfg.exe command-line utility for managing search catalogs. This utility is located in the Laserfiche Server installation folder.
More Information
Lfftscfg.exe is a command-line utility that allows you to access the Laserfiche Search Engine to list, attach, detach, or delete search catalogs. The utility is designed as a troubleshooting tool for use when a repository no longer exists, but search catalog information remains linked to the search engine. The utility does not provide an option for creating a search catalog. Please use the Laserfiche 8 Administration Console if you need to create a new search catalog for your repository.
Lfftscfg.exe accepts the following commands:
| Command | Description |
| mem port limit | Sets a memory usage limit for the search engine. Limit is the maximum size, in bytes, of the computer's memory that can be used by the Laserfiche Search Engine. If the port is not specified, 5053 will be used. |
| showmem port | Displays the current memory usage for the search index files. If the port is not specified, 5053 will be used. |
| list Port | Lists all search catalogs linked with the Search Engine. |
| attach Port CatalogName PathToIDXFiles | Attaches the specified catalog. |
| detach Port CatalogName | Detaches the specified catalog. |
| delete Port CatalogName | Deletes the specified catalog. |
| help | Displays help |
By default, the Laserfiche Search Engine communicates over port 5053.
Please see the following examples:
lfftscfg list 5053
lfftscfg detach 5053 MyRepository
lfftscfg attach 5053 MyRepository "C:\Repositories\MyRepository\SEARCH8"
lfftscfg delete 5053 MyRepository
