FYI, don’t think that fortification is a one time and forget process because that’s not our experience on 8.1.1/8.1.2
After running fortification you’ll find the custom fields report empty as expected (assuming you haven’t added any fields to FTS as customisations). If you then import, say, the change form from a development environment as you migrate customisations and then re-run the fortification reports you may still get an empty custom fields report. Now restart AR server and you are likely to see many more fields in the custom fields report as the FTS characteristics of fields in the regular form have been propagated to the change join forms. According to BMC this propagation should not happen. The indexer will see these additional FTS fields and start indexing them which adds to the size of the index itself. If a field on the underlying regular form of a join (or a join of a join) form is configured for FTS then FTS will be used on searches on the join form even when the field on the join form has no FTS configuration. The result is that you need to turn off indexing before importing forms, then restart AR server, the run fortification again before turning indexing on again. Good luck!

From what I can glean - if we are on 7.6.04 SP3, then there is nothing we can do to get this Full Text Search fortification installed. Has anyone else successfully installed this who is on 7.6.04 SP3? Even though the article mentions hot fix is only available for 7.6.04 SP2, it references SP3 later in the article. Hoping someone can clear this up for me. :-) https://communities.bmc.com/community/bmcdn/bmc_atrium_and_foundation_technologies/bmc_remedy_ar_system/blog/2013/08/30/the-pulse-fts-fortification Thanks, Jase Brandon 7.6.04 SP3 Oracle Dbase Linux _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" and have been for 20 years_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
