KBA-01037: Full-text Catalog has been lost

Problem:

‘Full-text catalog File Catalog (or sfDocCatalog) has been lost‘ message is displayed in my Log file. What do I do?

Solution:

The catalog may have been lost because of a recent SQL restore.  When a database is restored the synchronization between the full text catalog and the database is broken.You will need to rebuild your File Catalog full-text indices.

  1. In SQL Enterprise Manager, expand your Database folder.
  2. Locate your sfPMS database and expand it.
  3. Click on Full-Text Catalogs.
  4. Right-click on the File Catalog.
  5. Select Rebuild Catalog.

Repeat the same steps for the sfDocCatalog if that catalog requires rebuilding too.

Additional Comments:

Text from Log File:

  • Full-text catalog ‘FileCatalog‘ has been lost. Use sp_fulltext_catalog to rebuild and to repopulate this full-text catalog.
  • Full-text catalog ‘sfDocCatalog‘ has been lost. Use sp_fulltext_catalog to rebuild and to repopulate this full-text catalog.
