Cause

The timer set to pause the "release of the lease" for the Enterprise Vault Indexing Server is set too low.
Java rounds the current time and the rounding may roll up to the next second, causing a 1 second timer to fail.

 

Resolution

If the ESA property is found to be set to 1, make the below change
Otherwise the root cause is not this setting and should not be changed.

Steps to change the ESA property:
Navigate to System > Support Features 
Choose Property Browser from the dropdown.
Name of property to change:  esa.icp.collection.ev.EVSearcher.PauseAfterSearchInSec
New Value (leave blank to remove):  5  (The default is 180 seconds)
Confirm Change. Are you sure?*  (check this box)
Click the Submit button 

Note: an eDP services restart is NOT required.
 

Issue/Introduction

Enterprise Vault Collection or Search Tasks fail with a 'Search failed for index sever' error, even though the same Job Status log indicates the search was a success; 'Search completed successfully for archive'. The failure occurs immediately after the 'Releasing lease' on Index Server action.
