Enabling or Disabling Workspace Indexing

By default, workspace indexing is enabled. Whenever you create an asset or save changes to an asset, local metadata about it is automatically generated. You can enable or disable workspace indexing in Designer's preferences.

Important:
If you disable workspace indexing, no workspace metadata is created. Assets without workspace metadata are not included in webMethods workspace searches.

Note:
If you enable workspace indexing after you have created or modified assets while workspace indexing is disabled, see Resetting the Workspace Index for important information about how the workspace index is affected.

To enable or disable workspace indexing

1. In Designer: Window > Preferences > Software AG Workspace Index.

2. In the Metadata settings, select Disable Workspace Indexing to disable workspace indexing. Clear the check box to enable it.

3. Click OK to close the Preferences window.

4. Restart Designer.

You can continue working in Designer without restarting it. However, any change to workspace indexing does not take effect until you restart Designer.
