Too many index stripes can eventually cause a bottleneck; therefore, you periodically should unify the stripes into a single stripe.
To unify an index stripe
From the Document Stores page, select a document store and click Index Information. The Index Information page appears and displays the index stripe details.
Click Unify Indexes. The unification process runs. Sybase Search displays the progress of the unification process. Additionally, the unification process purges data marked for deletion and defragments the indexed data structures.
