XADM: Content Indexing of Network News Transfer Protocol Newsfeed May Seem Unresponsive (316570)

SYMPTOMS

When the Content Indexing service configures indexing for the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) newsfeed public folder, the indexing process may seem unresponsive throughout indexing. This process may not actually be in an unresponsive state. The process may require more time to index the data from the NNTP newsgroups.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because Uuencoded data is present in the NNTP newsgroups. Data in Uuencoded format processes like any other text in the newsgroup messages. However, the Uuencoded portion of the message is often very long and complex to index.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, you can either not index folders that are known to contain Uuencoded text or you can wait until the indexing process is complete.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
