Definition

Specifies whether the index is active.

Use

An active index is considered by the standard programs for inclusion in indexing.

By resetting this indicator, you can exclude an index from indexing without deleting the corresponding Customizing entries or indeed the index itself.

Dependencies

The system automatically sets this indicator if an index is created or activated in the administration UI of the search engine service (transaction SES_ADMIN). You can also reset it there.

If the indexing program comes across an implementation error in the interface IF_COM_SE_BUSOBJ when indexing a business object, the system automatically resets the indicator. The spool list of the indexing program informs you of this. The indicator is also displayed in the index monitor.

Example

You are already operating a big SAP system and perform internal developments in the search engine service. So that you do not disrupt the regular standard indexing, you can deactivate the indexes affected by the development. You can then test the indexing using the program COM_SE_SEARCH_TEST instead of the standard program.
