Resetting the Workspace Index

To reset a workspace index

Note:
If you are resetting the workspace index because you had previously disabled workspace indexing, be sure to enable indexing before exiting Designer. See Enabling or Disabling Workspace Indexing.

1. Exit Designer.

2. Delete the workspace index folder:

a. In a file browser or explorer, go to <workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\com.softwareag.metadata.eclipse\.

where <workspace> is the Designer workspace in question (for example, on Windows, the default workspace is commonly C:\Documents and Settings\<your login>\workspace).

b. Delete the index folder if it exists.

3. Start Designer and select the workspace.

4. In the Navigator view, close and re-open each project:

Each top-level item in the tree is a project. For each project, right-click and select Close Project. Then, right-click the project again and select Open Project.

When you re-open a project, the status bar on the lower right of the Designer window will indicate "Extracting changed files." This means workspace metadata is being generated for the project's assets.

Note:
If there is not much workspace metadata to be extracted, this message appears so briefly you may not see it.

To ensure all local metadata is extracted, be sure to close and re-open all projects you see in the Navigator view.
