Index maintenance

[Ian Wood]

I am having an issue almost daily where a file is getting bad automatic indexes.

OS is:
-----------------------------------------
System information
-----------------------------------------
Windows 2008 R2
   (Server Standard Edition (full installation))
Mapi32 DLL build 1.0.2536.0 (win7_rtm.090713-1255)

filePro version is 5.014DN9

When looking at the index through dxmaint it says Invalid Index. I have to delete the index and then rebuild it manually.

I need to be able to put this onto a menu to allow the user to do this as they are not in the same building as me.

\fp\dxmaint -ra -e won't work as the index is invalid and when I go to build it, the field values are blank.

I can't use the \fp\dxmaint -rf option as this is only for demand indexes as far as I can see in the documentation.

The only thing I can think of is to copy the index to a named index while the index is valid, and then have the menu script do the following
(the bad indexes are in a qualifier called label)

cd \filepro\gr_bag
del indexlabel.A
del indexlabel.B
copy indexlabel.goodA indexlabel.A
copy indexlabel.goodB indexlabel.B
cd\
\fp\dxmaint gr_bag -ra -e -m label

If anyone else has a better idea, feel free to shout it out.

I still need to find what is causing this, but I didn't write the code that this process runs from and don't have time right now to dig though and/or rewrite the process.
