Problem

When creating a full text index on a database with a large file attachment, the FTG reports the following error on the console and in the LOG.NSF:

"Processing only first 6291456 bytes of attachment filename.extension
Full Text Error (FTG): Exceeded max configured index size while indexing document NT00005022 in database index d:/Lotus/Domino/Data/mail/user.ft"

It has been reported that this error message can also hang the Domino server.

 

Solution

The error is the result of the 6MB default limit to indexing documents. You can increase this limit by setting the following parameter in the NOTES.INI file:

FTG_INDEX_LIMIT= X

with the value of X calculated as follows:

8MG is calculated as 8*1024 *1024=8388608; thus FTG_INDEX_LIMIT=8388608
12MB is calculated as 12*1024*1024 = 12582912; thus FTG_INDEX_LIMIT=12582912

Supporting Information:

NOTE: On the AS/400 platform only, there is a software limitation that prevents the indexing of documents larger than approximately 8MB on Domino R5. If you raise FTG_INDEX_LIMIT above this value, a hard failure will result, causing the entire database index to be aborted. The maximum value that avoids this error is set as follows in the NOTES.INI:

FTG_INDEX_LIMIT=8323000

Setting the limit at or below this value will prevent the hard error. If a document is larger than this limit, you will receive a "Exceeded Max Configured Index Size ..." message, but the entire index will not be aborted; only individual documents that are too large will be excluded.

In many cases, it is large file attachments that cause a document to be too large, not the text body of the document itself. If this is the case, you could turn off the "Index attachments" option to exclude attachments from the index.

Note that there is no limit to the document size value for the notes.ini parameter FTG_INDEX_LIMIT= in any versions of Notes. However, the default document size limit is 6MB without this parameter. You can change this limit by setting the NOTES.INI variable FTG_INDEX_LIMIT=<number of bytes> to the desired limit. Performance will be affected the higher this parameter is set as it will take the indexer longer to process, and it will use up more memory/processing time. The value that is set has a direct relationship to the amount of memory that will be utilized.
