Purpose
This program is a tool of thesearch engine service. Itis a tool for system administrators and is executed in the dialog.
You can use this program to reactivate change pointers that have alreadybeen processed.

Example
If you cannot use your search engine due to damaged hardware, you canreactivate all the change pointers since the beginning of the last databackup after you have reloaded this backup. These change pointers willthen automatically be considered for the next run of the delta indexing.Then your search engine will have a current status after completion ofthe next delta indexing.

Integration
For business objects that use the search engine service, a changepointer is generated every time an object is changed. The changepointers in the search engine service therefore represent events. Theyare the basis for delta indexing. For more information about deltaindexing, see the documentation of the indexing programCOM_SE_DISPATCHER.

Prerequisites
None.

Features
This program only processes entries in the database tableCOM_SE_CPOINTER in which the change pointers are stored. The programdoes not communicate with the search engine or the application fromwhich the business objects in question have come.
The status of the selected change pointers is reset from 2 =Processed to 1 = Initial. This means that the objects inquestion will be indexed again during the next delta indexing run.

Selection
Specify the date and time from which the change pointers are to bereactivated. The date and time are interpreted as local time by thesystem in accordance with the time zone specified in your user masterrecord.
If required, you can restrict the program run to a business object andan object type contained in this business object.

Output
You receive a confirmation of your selection and the number of changepointers reactivated.

Activities
If you want to check the function of this program, you can do so usingthe data browser (transaction SE16). Start the data browser for thetable COM_SE_CPOINTER. Make sure that the date and time are stored as aUTC time stamp in the fieldTime Stamp. Do not be confused by the output format of the timestamp: Because the time stamp is saved to the database as a normalnumerical field, the output is in the form of JJ.JJM.MTT.HHM.MSS insteadof the ISO form JJJJ-MM-TT HH:MM:SS.
