Clearing Checkpoint Records

Exalead CloudView keeps checkpoint records.

This includes:

• The modified date of the last object crawled.
• The number of objects crawled.
• The type of indexing process.
• The start and end time of the crawling process.
• The status of the index (Complete, Running, Stopped, or Cancel).

Keeping the modified date in a Exalead CloudView checkpoint allows:

• An index process to be performed on an individual vault.
• Multiple partial indexing processes to run at the same time on different vaults.

You can clear the checkpoints record if the indexing failed or to run a partial indexing process without clearing the current CloudView server. For example, if the checkpoints record for a vault has indexing as Running, even though indexing is no longer running, it is impossible to run a new index unless you clear the checkpoints.
