Should I run a Full Crawl after running psconfig after updating Sp2013 with a Service Pack or Cumulative Update

Hi
Should I run a full crawl after I have performed a Service Pack Update or Cumulative Update and run psconfig wizard?
The best practise coming out of Microsoft says you should only run a full crawl after a configuration change.
You should then run a continuous crawl thereafter.
The question then becomes is a Service Pack Update / Cumulative Update followed by psconfig wizard (or the PowerShell equivalent) considered to be a configuration change.
We were recently advised by Microsoft to install the July 2014 CU (and then run psconfig).
After that the continuous search did not pick up  newly created files until a full crawl was run.
So should I run a full crawl after I have installed a Service Pack or Cumulative Update and run psconfig ?
Thanks

Hi Nigel,
The situations when you need to do full crawl is listed here,
A Search service application has just been created and the preconfigured content source
Local SharePoint sites have not been crawled yet.
Some other content source is new and has not been crawled yet.
A software update or service pack was installed on servers in the farm. See the instructions for the software update or service pack for more information.
A Search service application administrator, site collection administrator or tenant administrator added a new managed property or changed an existing managed property. A full crawl is required for the new or changed managed property to take effect.
You want to detect security changes that were made to local groups on a file share after the last full crawl of the file share.
You want to resolve consecutive incremental crawl failures. If an incremental crawl fails a large number of consecutive times at any level in a repository, the system removes the affected content from the search index.
Crawl rules have been added, deleted, or modified.
You want to repair a corrupted search index.
The credentials for the user account that is assigned to the default content access account have changed. A full crawl is required only if the permissions of this user account have changed.
My opinion is, it is always better to do a full crawl after a successful installation of service packs or product upgrades.

  • IQ770 crashed after service pack 1 automatic update.

    after service pack one was downloaded ,while on line i would get kicked off.eventually windows wouldnt boot up,and then received a blue screen with an error message saying windows has shut down to prevent further damage to the computer.then the computer would only boot up in safe mode.i tried system restore in safe mode,but it did not work.i called hp technical support. they told me i need to do a system recovery.i tried a system recovery through the hard drive, it went through the whole process,and i thought it was going to work,but when it was time for windows to boot up the computer froze.the tech said i need to purchase a recovery cd and it should work.i ordered it and i followed the directions and ran the cd.when the disc was complete the screen was white,and there was no response of any kind.then after a few hours i shut the computer off.when i turned it back on there was nothing but a screen with vertical colored lines,and no response.i have had the computer for 14 months when this happened.i don't know what to do? has this happened to anyone els?

    hi, ive got almost the same problem. I just haven't followed through on the back-up as far as you have. good thing, it looks like. I've almost filled my hard drive, now going on 19mos later. i wish i could help. my video is fine, i think. ive ran every free malware, virus, defender and anti spyware prog i could find for this. and got rid of a lot of supposed threats. but the problems get worse and worse. lately i cant get my hardware to work right. seems one thing after another one piece or another seems to go out. weird thing is: the drivers say they are totally updated just for some reason not working and needs to go online but wireless and ethernet both have "hardware connection errors" so i cant get the sucker online. then my system speakers are out. ive tried uninstalling, disabnling, updating via sd card and hp and microsofts sites (all the trials and errors not necessarily in chronological order) but i dont know what to do. winlogon shuts off, oembios shuts off, now i look over and windows explorer keeps going out aaaaaaarrrrrrgh, i dont have that much money to get new warranty. <text deleted> since i cant get online with mine its not up to me when i can check my email. but if someone wants to try and troubleshoot this with me via messenger if im on or email id really appreciate it. im at a loss cuz im normaly the it tech to go to for vista, but now im lost and would really appreciate any and all info or idea...even if ive tried it, maybe my sequencing was off and im willing to retry ....thanks

  • Problems after CSM upgrade to version 3.3.1 Service Pack 1

    Hello,
    After CSM upgrade to 3.3.1 SP1, automatic IPS signature updates stop working with the following message:
    "Unable to communicate with locator service to retrive available files."
    IEV has stopped working as well. Error message is in the attachment.
    Has anyone experienced similar problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Vesna

    Yes, that always work.
    Automatic IPS update has started working again since yesterday, without any reconfiguration on CSM. Do you maybe know what could be explanation for that?
    The other issue still persists. After CSM was upgraded to 3.3.1 SP1, IPS Event Viewer cannot be started from CSM. The following error message appears:
    "CreateProcess: .\cache\iev\bin\iev-launcher.exe

  • I recently downloaded i tunes for windows with xp service pack 3.  I chose the automatic search for music on my computer to import into itunes.  However, after completion all the tracks were copied twice?  What's up with that?

    How would I go about deleting all the duplicate tracks that were imported?

    The reason I would think your iTunes stopped working is because your system is no longer compatible as iTunes requires Windows XP SP 2 in order to work properly.
    If you want to back up your iTunes content then I would suggest opening My Documents>My Music and choose the whole iTunes folder and move it to an external drive. That is normally where all your content is saved, unless you didn't have 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' selected in iTunes then you might want to use the whole My Music folder as your backup.

  • Fans run at full speed

    As in subject, my brand new iMac Aluminium 20" 2GHz has a problem: fans run at full speed...
    After reset of PRAM or SMC, fans start slowly (1200rpm) but rise ti 3500rpm after few minutes and they don't change until a new restore of SMC.
    cpu 3-4%,
    no apllication opened,
    nothing in dashboard.
    What's happen?? I've never had a problem with my mac!

    Hi, just an update -
    I ran the Apple Hardware Test on startup, and it returned this hardware error: 4SNS/1/40000000:TpoP
    I brought my machine to the Apple Store where I bought it and they ran their diagnostics and said there was nothing wrong. So when I picked it up we booted it up in the store and the fan was about 1200rpm, no problem. We ran the Apple Hardware Test in the store and it didn't give the same hardware error that I'd had before.
    So, I didn't really have any ammunition to press them any further on it and for the last week it's been fine. I had the fan race on me again last night but I hope it was an isolated incident.
    As for downgrading to OSX 10.4, I'd consider it but I don't feel that I should have to do that to make my hardware perform correctly.
    Re. smcFanControl, I thought the purpose of that is to make the fans run faster/more often, but if anyone's used it to stop them from running too fast/too often I'd be glad to hear from you.
    Maybe the 10.5.2 version of the OS will take care of this problem, if indeed a problem exists.

  • Express 2014 with Advanced Services, can't create Full Text Index, no service running

    I can't confirm that Full-text service is running or installed. There is no sql server full text search [instance] running as a service on the machine. I thought this would be installed with advanced services? I installed all options when installing express
    edition 2014. But it's not there. When I run
    select fulltextserviceproperty('isfulltextinstalled')
    I get a '0' which according to other posts means that it is not installed. I installed Sql Server Advanced Services 2014 with all tools checked. And in Sql Server Configuration Manager I see the service 'Sql Full Text Filter Daemon Launcher' and it is running.
    Is there another service called  'sql server full text search' that should be in serives.  How do I install full text
    search for Sql Server Express 2014 With Advanced Services or install the service so that I can run full text search? Please help ! 
    When running this command
    CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG GftExGiftFTCat;
    I get the message:
    Cannot use full-text search in user instance.
    chuckdawit

    Hi chuckdawit,
    Could you please verify that if you connect to the correct SQL Server instance? 
    Based on my test, the error “Cannot use full-text search in user instance” could occur when connecting to the LocalDB as LocalDB does not support the Full-Text feature. To  use the Full –Text feature in SQL Server Express, please ensure that you connect
    to the instance with connection string “ ServerName\SQLEXPRESS”.

  • Error in Source System while running the Full Load

    HI Experts,
    We are using 0CRM_UT_SRV_CONT_I datasource from CRM to extract data.
    It is giving error while running the full load as 'Error Occured in Source system' with messaage Number : RSM340.
    I  want to mention certain points here:
    1) In RSA3 its running fine.
    2) Connection between BW and CRM system is OK.
    3) We have replicated datasource and send active veriosn from Dev system.
    4) When I run Init without data, Init set sucessful with entry in RSA7 in CRM.
    5) Delta run fine with green status.
    6) As source system is static client, hence do data for delta.
    The Main issue happens when we run either the Full load or Init With Data transfer.
    Kindly suggest.
    Thanks
    Mayank

    Hi Mayank,
    see in source system (CRM) with transaction SM21 and ST22 the error log and and then you let us know.

  • Performance problems after installing XP Service Pack 3

    Hello,
    After upgrading my client XP-machine to Service Pack 3, I have serious performance issues working with ApEx. Firstly, establishing the connection to the ApEx Workspace and then logging in both are very slow. Navigating through the workspace works fine, however when I then open any page for editing and/or try to run it, again it is very slow. As we work with PL/sql Embedded gateway I have changed the parameter SHARED_SERVERS to 10, but this did not make any difference. Remotely connecting to this server in other ways such as ping, connecting to xmlpserver, mapping network drives and connecting to the database all work fine.
    My collegues also working witk Service Pack 3 have no performance issues. However when I performed a rollback of the XP Service Pack 3, the performance issue was gone!
    Does anyone know of any issues similar to this problem?
    Regards,
    Ben van Dort

    This issue is probably related to an update of InternetExplorer by Service Pack 3. Working with Firefox instead of IE gives no performance problems whatsoever.
    Version of IE after Service Pack 3: 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236CO

  • Sites Intermittently Not Responding After Service Pack 2

    Got a strange intermittent issue occurring after we upgraded our SharePoint 2010 farm to Service Pack 2.
    The upgrade was successful on all of our servers with no errors and generally performance is a little quicker as should be expected. However we have an intermittent issue where some site collections within the main web application become unresponsive.
    We have 2 front end servers sitting behind a network load balancer. 
    All sites have a dedicated content database.
    The issue occurs on either front end server.
    An app pool recycle fixes the issue until it occurs again, however we can't go recycling app pools constantly during business hours as we have around 3000 users connecting to our SharePoint portal.
    ULS logs and event logs don't show anything abnormal really (however just dialled up the logging to verbose to look into it further).
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    By default, the application pool is set to recycle at a specific time automatically in IIS.
    So the issue you met may be due to the application pool cannot be recycled automatically or the recycle was crashed.
    I recommend to check IIS log for SharePoint web application and
    System event logs on the IIS server for the corresponding web application to see the error message.

  • Fans are running at full speed after hard drive upgrade. Used same brand drive.

    My Western Digital 500GB hard drive crashed. The date on it is Aug. 2010. I swapped it out for a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB. All plugs were identical including the temp sensor cable. My fans now run at full speed. What gives? BTW. This is th 3rd WD hard drive to fail at my office in multiple iMacs. I have a 21.5 iMac i3 3.06ghz. I have tried the SMC reset,.. no luck. Reset the PRAM,.. no luck. Hard drive and computer function perfectly, it just sounds like a loud annoying PC.

    After a little more research the only thing I found for 21.5" mid 2010 imac were three part numbers for three sensor cables which are a function of vendor:
    922-9215, Hitachi
    922-9216, Seagate
    922-9622, Western Digital
    The strange thing here is these are vendor specific and not model within vendor specific.  So you started with a WD drive and replaced it with different model, but still a WD drive.  So you would think it would require the same sensor cable. 
    Maybe the drives are different enough for this to matter.  Or maybe you should check the connections one more time.  Be it model of drive or connections, whichever it is, the sensor cable is the source of your problem.

  • After fresh Mavericks Install Fans never stopped running on full speed. What to do?

    Hello
    I had Mountain Lion installed this afternoon, but wanted to upgrade to Mavericks. I went the upgrade path through the Mac App Store, but after the install several things still weren't working properly (as they had been with Mountain Lion), so I erased the disk an reinstalled Mavericks from scratch. Now, at the time in Mountain Lion Finder kept freezing the MBP at 100% of one of it's cores, which heated up the CPU quite a bit. I therefore installed smcfancontrol to have quick access to a setting I called "Cool", essentially running both fans at full power. When I decided to reset the system, this setting was activated. Now, after the clean reinstall of Mavericks, the fans are continiously running at full speed (as in 5940rpm). In smcfancontrol I cannot set the fan speed lower than that, as it seems to be the system minimum now. I can't set them higher either, but if I choose the pre-defined "Higher RPM" setting, the fans manage a whopping 7k something. Didn't sound healthy though, so I'm keeping my fingers away from that.
    Anyway, is there a way to reset the fan speed defaults?
    Specs:
    Model Identifier:          MacBookPro10,1
    Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
    Processor Speed:          2.7 GHz
    Memory:          16 GB
    SSD: 512 GB
    [EDIT] I found out how to change the defaults of smcfancontrol (there are config files; ~/Library/Application Support/smcFanControl/Machines.plist for the machine "defaults" and ~/Library/Preferences/com.eidac.smcFanControl2.plist for the preferences)
    Hope this helps anyone in the future, now I just need to find out what the default values are for a MBP =)

    I have a similiar problem.
    I updated to Mavericks last night and now only one of my fans isnt working.
    I tried Smc reset.
    I also have Istat Pro and I can see the right fan is not working.
