When IR Expert (full-text indexes for dbdict records) is updated asynchronously by default. The System Administrator should monitor the irqueue dbdict on a daily basis. When the irqueue records are not processed, the IR index is no more updated, and the IR expert full-text-search is not returning recently inserted or updated records anymore even when they match the query.

If the records in the irqueue dbdict are not processed, the cause may be either of the following:

The IRQUEUE background process is no more running and needs to be restarted, or

The currently processed record causes the IRQUEUE process to hang and needs to be removed.

If a record is causing IRQUEUE to hang, the reason may be the corruption of the IR index. In this case, an IR regen should be considered.
