Mailbox search indexing failing

Post by Brett Rowbotham »

The mailbox indexing service log starts with:

2019-10-16 05:39:58,100 [4] INFO - MailEnable Mailbox Search Indexing Service starting.
2019-10-16 05:39:58,241 [4] INFO - Started the initialisation processor.
2019-10-16 05:39:58,241 [4] INFO - Started the update processor.
2019-10-16 05:40:58,367 [6] INFO - 35 pending index updates.
2019-10-16 05:40:58,780 [6] ERROR - Encountered a problem while attempting to find an index update request: Root element is missing.
2019-10-16 05:41:59,456 [9] INFO - 35 pending index updates.
2019-10-16 05:41:59,456 [9] ERROR - Encountered a problem while attempting to find an index update request: Root element is missing.

and then the last two lines just keep on repeating for days.

Where do I look for the item causing this problem ?

Hi,

Looks like a corruption in the "VerificationState.xml" file for the indexing service. Navigate to: Mail Enable\Config\MailboxSearchIndexing folder. Delete the "VerificationState.xml" file and restart the indexing service.

Thanks. The file was empty so I have deleted it and will see what happens next.

Unfortunately, although indexing started again after deleting the empty xml file, a little while later there was an exception and indexing stopped again:

2019-10-17 08:12:15,682 [26] ERROR - Failed to update index for andrew@KnowBase: background merge hit exception: _szq:C8676 _t0y:c1 _t11:c2->_t11 _t13:c6->_t13 _t15:c33->_t15 _t17:c8->_t17 _t1a:c2->_t1a _t1c:c19->_t1c into _t1e [optimize] [mergeDocStores].
