Laserfiche 8, Laserfiche 9

Summary

If the ratio of available physical memory to total physical memory is very low, the indexing process may be unexpectedly slow.

More Information

If you are indexing a large number of documents in the described memory environment, you can configure a maximum memory limit for LFFTS or QRcmd to resolve the slower than expected indexing speed.

For LFFTS

For QRcmd

  • When launching the QuickReindex Utility (QRcmd.exe), pass in the -k and -v2 parameters to set a maximum memory limit for QRcmd. See the following example that sets a 512 MB limit.
  • QRcmd.exe -p "C:\MyLFRepository\SEARCH" -s "MyComputer" -r "MySQLDatabase" -k /LFFTS/Config/TotalPrivateBytes -v2 536870912
