Greetings, Our group is beginning the testing of Knowledge Management (RKM). Of the many things this entails is nailing down the FTS configuration. The most I've been able to find in terms of configuring the FTS is the AR System Administration FTS Configuration Form, but this still leaves me with questions:
* In a previous ARS Listing someone asked how to determine the size requirements for the BMC Software\ARSystem\ftsconfiguration\collection directory. I get that no one can really estimate this for you as it's dependent on how much "stuff" you have in your system. My question here is: how do I get a good estimate of how much "stuff" I have. Is there a directory or a command that I can use? Should I base it off of some part of the SQL DB? How did any of you decide on what size storage to use? o Link: http://ars-action-request-system.1093659.n2.nabble.com/Recommended-size-for-FTS-index-collection-directory-td7581791.html * Occasionally, the BMC Software\ARSystem\ftsconfiguration\collection directory grows wildly and then appears to wipe old records from this folder and the size returns to something manageable. o Is this due to an auto-indexing? o Can a threshold be set on how much storage is used for the indexing? o Can a schedule be set for when it needs to dump old records (if this is even what it's actually doing)? * If we use the failover FTS functionality recently released (in 8.1.01 I think), is it safe to assume that we'll need this space on the backup servers as well?
