Adding new search nodes
Dear Team,
We are planning to add another search node to our existing production environment.
We would like to know if it automatically triggers any re-indexing? We have set the DSS autonodecleanupandreindex as false.
Is there any chance that any issue happens which may require us to re-index all work items?
Currently we have large volume of data and it takes around 24 hours to complete the re-indexing.
Is there any steps to take a back up of just the re-indexed file and restore it later?
Please advise.
Regards,

@GuhanathanV4521 Adding a new search node to your existing production environment does not automatically trigger re-indexing, especially if you have set the DSS 'autonodecleanupandreindex' to false. However, it's important to note that issues can occur that may require re-indexing, such as if the new node is not properly integrated or if there are issues with the existing index files. Unfortunately, there is no built-in functionality in Pega to backup and restore just the re-indexed files. You would need to ensure that your new node is properly set up and integrated to avoid any issues that might require a full re-index.
