MARK_FOR_RETRY

The MARK_FOR_RETRY administration method finds content that has a particular negative update_count property value and marks such content as awaiting indexing. Use MARK_FOR_RETRY at any time to mark content that failed indexing for retry. Note that MARK_FOR_RETRY does not take the update_count argument.

When the UPDATE_FTINDEX method fails, it changes the update_count property for the content object associated with the bad content to the negative complement of the update_count value in the fulltext index object. For example, if the update_count of the full-text index object is 5, the update_count property of the bad content object is set to -5 (negative 5). For more information, refer to the section in the DQL Reference Manual on MARK_FOR_RETRY.

The MARK_FOR_RETRY method returns TRUE if the operation succeeds or FALSE if it fails.
