A Property Tuning example
August 20, 2008, 10:29 PM Brian SchanenFollowing the last post about Re-Indexing and when you should perform one, here is a real life example I had to go through. I thought I’d screen cap and share with the group.
I had migrated a Productstream 2008 database to 2009 and was running an Advanced Find. The Property drop down was filled with loads of props that I would never search for, like the G_H and G_L properties in the image below:
These are dimensional parameters exported from the Inventor file. These find their way to custom iProperties, and in Vault/Productstream 2008, would be automatically indexed upon Check In. Note that this does not happen anymore in the 2009 release, but if you are like me, you have old backups to restore and these properties will appear.
So with the 2009 release, you can go to Tool>Administration>Files tab and click Properties. This will open the Property Definitions window. From the filter at the top, select the File list. Browse down to the Properties in question.
Highlight (or Shift-select) and click the Edit button at the top. Change the State to Not in Use and click OK.
Perform this for all unnecessary Properties. As you exit, you’ll be met with a message stating that the job is not done – you will need to re-index at the ADMS Console for these changes to take effect.
Remember that with Vault and Productstream 2009, you do not have to have everyone log out of Vault to re-index.
The Vault Knows All...
