Before you start working with the utility, check the value of the IndexRebuilding parameter in the section HKLM\SOFTWARE\AxxonSoft\PSIM\Video for 64-bit systems (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\AxxonSoft\PSIM\Video for 32-bit) of the Windows OS registry: by default it must be 0. If the parameter value differs from the default value, you must change it to 0; otherwise, the utility won't index the archive.

We recommend starting the process of reindexing using the index.exe utility after shutting down Axxon PSIM.

To reindex the archive files after you change it (for example, after copying new video recordings to one or several archive disks), do the following:

  1. Start the index.exe utility (see Starting and shutting down the index.exe utility).
  2. In the window that opens, select archive disks for reindexing by setting the checkboxes next to the required disks (1).

    The utility displays all available system disks, including the mounted network ones. The unmounted network disks selected for video archive recording in Axxon PSIM aren't displayed.

  3. To select all disks for video archive reindexing, set the Select all checkbox (2).

  4. To start reindexing, click the Start button (3).
    The reindexing process is displayed in the field (4).

    During reindexing, all elements of the utility window are inactive.

  5. When the process is complete, close the utility window by clicking the button.

Reindexing of archive files is complete.

To reindex archive files without using the dialog window, in the command line, start the index_fs.exe utility with parameters.

Examples:

In order for Axxon PSIM to start working with new indexes, you must restart the video.run module or the entire Axxon PSIM after reindexing.
