Description

With UpdAll_NoFullText=1, the UpdAll task ignores all full-text indexes during the nightly maintenance run – only view indexes are rebuilt or refreshed. Useful on servers that don't use full-text search or use it only in a limited way, or when full-text maintenance has been offloaded to a separate server.
Unlike Update_No_FullText (which applies to the Update task), this switch only affects the batch-oriented UpdAll.

Example configuration

UpdAll_NoFullText=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Affects only UpdAll – the ongoing index updates by the Update task remain untouched.
  • Useful especially when UpdAll touches many databases nightly / cyclically and full-text rebuilds take too long.
  • Complemented by Update_No_FullText (analog for the Update task).
  • Manual full-text maintenance is possible via load updall -f <db> (forces full-text) or -x to delete.
  • The change takes effect immediately for new UpdAll runs.
