It will not get updated automatically. That would be magic. For that to happen the index must be based entirely on the contents of the record and/or record id.
Things like that I would tend to build the index on the key to the TRANS'd data, and maybe have another index on the field in the secondary file. An invoice file with a field that shows the customer name for example. You could index the customer name in the customer file, the customer key in the invoice file. Find the list of customer keys for a customer name, and use that to get a list of invoice records using the customer keys. But if you've got, for example, an index based on the words in the record, and you have a list of words you want to ignore (not build an index for) stored in another file - that would be a case where the "source doesn't change very often" and you would want to bring the system down to rebuild the index. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2010 3:47 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Index based on an I desc of TRANS data I just created an Index on a fairly large file based on an I Desc. The IDESC is combination of Concatenating 5 TRANS()'d fields. After the index was built, it works great....but just curious, Will the index get updated automatically, when the source file's data changes? (remember, the index is based on TRANS'd data), Or will I need to periodically rebuild the index, which in itself wouldn't be an issue as the source file doesn't change very often. This is on UV.
