How to fix issue of ektroncrawldb.backup becoming too large

  • Updated

In 9.1 Solr versions there is an issue where compacting the crawl database backup file does not work. Here is how to fix that.

There is an incorrect path in the file responsible for compacting the crawldb backup file. 

Make the change in this file. 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ektron\Search2.0\ManifoldCF\core\compactdb.cmd

Change on line 23

cmd /v:ON /c "processes\largeexecutecommand.bat org.hsqldb.cmdline.SqlTool --autocommit --rcfile "%MANIFOLD_HOME%\ektron.rc" -p connection=%1 ektroncrawl-sa "%MANIFOLD_HOME%\compactdb.sql"

To the following:

cmd /v:ON /c "largeexecutecommand.bat org.hsqldb.cmdline.SqlTool --autocommit --rcfile "%MANIFOLD_HOME%\ektron.rc" -p connection=%1 ektroncrawl-sa "%MANIFOLD_HOME%\compactdb.sql"
