Event ID-2442 Windows SharePoint Services 3 Search
Lately I noticed an event ID 2442 logged in the application log.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3 Search
Event Category: Gatherer
Event ID: 2442
Date: 5/14/2010
Time: 5:18:03 PM
User: N/A
Computer: MOSSSERVER
Description:
The index was paused.
Context: Application 'Search', Catalog 'index file on the search server Search'
The cause of this warnings was due to the scheduled backups that were running at these times. When SharePoint backup jobs were running the indexing or all the crawler jobs were stopped temporarily untill the backups were completed.
Hopefully these issues should be resolved with SharePoint 2010 as the Indexing and Search Architecture was completed changed with partioning of Index in Palce and Search being made more felxible.
