 Error Handling During IndexingLocate this document in the navigation structure

The index monitor displays the status of the indexing process. You can use this information to identify and analyze errors that occur.  The following error are possible:

Status 1 - Canceled

If there are problems during the update of an index, the entry 1 - Canceledmay appear in the Status column. This is highlighted by the red cell background.

Choose Spool List to display information about the error that has occurred.

In Customizing for the search engine service, you can configure the level of detail shown in the spool list. To do this, navigate in the menu as follows: Goto → Customizing → Business Objects and Indexes.

Status 2 - Active

In some cases, the indexing program can terminate itself. For technical reasons, the system cannot generate a spool list and the status in the index monitor remains at 2 - Active.

  1. Under Jobs and after making a selection, an overview of all jobs for the indexing program COM_SE_DISPATCHER appears.
  2. Select the terminated job and choose Job Log.

    The error message that triggered the program termination appears. If the error message does not provide enough information, proceed as follows:

    1. In Customizing, set the Maximum Number of Parallel Tasks to 1 for the affected object type.
    2. Execute the program COM_SE_DISPATCHER in dialog mode.

      In the event of a short dump, you can then switch directly to debugging mode.

"Queue: Errors" Column

After the indexing program has transferred the updated data to the TREX system inbound processing (queue), it is possible in exceptional cases that processing errors may occur in the TREX system. These are displayed in the index monitor in the Queue: Errors column.

You can locate the errors more exactly by choosing TREX Admin. This takes you to the TREX admin tool, which is integrated in the SAP system. If the information available there is not sufficient, you can revert to the stand-alone version of the TREX admin tool.

For more information, see TREX Admin Tool in the SAP System or TREX Admin Tool (Stand-Alone).
