Search Index is stuck in "In Process" Status

Question & Answer


Question

Why is my Search Index stuck in "In Process" Status?

Answer

The search index is created through an agent server (Time triggered transaction "Catalog Index Build"). When a new search index is generated from Sterling Business Center (SBC), the "Catalog Index Build" agent eventually processes the request and creates a search index.

If this agent is not started, or the agent is not able to process the request for some reason, then the new search index will remain in an "In Process" status.

Please make sure that "Catalog Index Build" agent is up and running and processing the messages.

For more information on "Catalog Index Build", see the topics "Create catalog index" and "Configuring catalog search index".
