 |
|
Hi,
Does anyone know how to rebuild the JB 2005 help system. I canceled the
build during first time startup, and now it doesn't show a table of contents
and when I try to search in the index, it says: "No Data Model."
Thanks

No, but I'll make up an answer anyway.  Try moving (*) the .dat
files that are in the doc directory. That might force a rebuild.
(*) Move them. Don't delete them. I really am making this up. I have
no idea if this will work.

No such luck, Gilmer. I don't even have .dat files in my ./doc directory. I
have some in a ./doc/backup directory and when I copy them to the ./doc
directory, start JBuilder and call help, it seems the system tries to build
up a help index, but after two or three seconds JBuilder hangs.

How sure are you that it's hung? When it rebuilt my help index, I
remember it taking a few minutes before it completed. Is it possible
that it's just taking a lot longer than you'd expect? It definitely
doesn't run in the time of the typical Windows help indexing operation
where it takes just a few seconds.

Well, it was hung alright. But I found a solution. I reinstalled the whole |
bit. and eBay. and Fortify. and Vignette. man, it was a crucifixion!

I had the same thing happen to me and the only solution I could figure out
(besides trying to track down where the corrupt indexes were stored) was to
tear out the installation and start over. I wanted to investigate it
further, but I couldn't reproduce the situation that created the initial
corruption and I was on a deadline to get some work finished...
