Enable or disable asynchronous indexing

Asynchronous indexing helps ensure optimal performance of your environment while Collibra is indexing changes.

Prerequisites

You have the ADMIN or SUPER role in Collibra Console.
You have a global role that has the System administration global permission.
The Services Configuration tab is available in the Collibra settings.

Enable asynchronous indexing

1. Open the Services Configuration page.

   1. On the main menu, click , and then click Settings.
      The Collibra settings page opens.
   2. In the tab pane, click Services Configuration.
   3. Click Edit configuration.

   Open the DGC service settings for editing:

   1. Open Collibra Console.
      Collibra Console opens with the Infrastructure page.
   2. In the tab pane, expand an environment to show its services.
   3. In the tab pane, click the Data Governance Center service of that environment.
   4. Click Configuration.
   5. Click Edit configuration.
1. In the Search index configuration section, in the Search Event Log configuration subsection, in the Asynchronous indexing field, select True.
2. Click Save all.
3. Restart the environment to apply your changes. For more information, go to Stop an environment and Start an environment.

Note If the Asynchronous indexing setting had been previously enabled for your Collibra environment, or if you are uncertain about it, consider Reindexing Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud your environment.

Important When Asynchronous indexing is enabled, it is possible that you cannot search based on a tag that has been merged. When you merge tags and use Asynchronous indexing, you must run a full reindex (rebuild the search index) to ensure that the search also considers the merged tag.

Optionally, you can edit the asynchronous indexing default settings to suit your needs.
