You can regenerate a data index if the validation step fails. There are three ways to regenerate an index:
RegenerateIndex configuration parameters and restart the server.DREREGENERATE index action while the server is running. All these methods recreate all the files for a particular data index without reindexing all your content.
Note: You can also use these methods to regenerate an index after you make a field configuration change. However, you cannot use the RegenerateRefIndex or DREREGENERATE RefIndex option to change the configuration for ReferenceType fields.
The RegenerateIndex configuration parameters allow you to recreate the data indexes.
Open the IDOL Server configuration file in a text editor.
In the [Server] section, add the RegenerateIndex configuration parameter for the index that you want to regenerate, and set it to True. The following parameters regenerate the indexes that correspond to some of the validation steps.
RegenerateNumericIndex
RegenerateRefIndex
RegenerateSecIndex
RegenerateUnstemmedIndex
For more information about these parameters, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.
Note: If validation fails for the nodetable or diskindex stages, you must reindex your content to repair the index.
Save and close the configuration file. Restart IDOL Server for your changes to take effect.
On startup, IDOL Server regenerates the specified index.
In the configuration file, delete the RegenerateIndex parameter, or set it to False. This step ensures that IDOL Server does not waste time regenerating the index again when you next restart IDOL Server.
The DREREGENERATE action allows you to recreate the data indexes while the server is running. Use this method if you need IDOL Server to be accessible while you regenerate.
To regenerate the data index immediately, send a DREREGENERATE index action (case sensitive) from your Web browser:
http://IDOLHost:indexPort/DREREGENERATE?&Type=type
where:
IDOLhost
|
is the IP address or host name of the machine on which IDOL Server is installed. |
indexPort
|
is the IDOL Server index port (specified as IndexPort in the [Server] section of the IDOL Server configuration file). |
type
|
is the type of subindex that you want to regenerate. You can specify multiple indexes in a comma-separated list. The following values are available:
Note: You can also use the |
For example:
http://12.3.4.56:20001/DREREGENERATE?&Type=Numeric,NumericDate
This index action uses port 20001 to regenerate the NumericType and NumericDateType field indexes of an IDOL Server that is located on a machine with the IP address 12.3.4.56.
You can also regenerate the data index by using the Regenerate function in the Service Control tab in the Console page of the IDOL Admin interface.
To regenerate the data index by using IDOL Admin
In the Service Control tab in the Console page, click Regenerate.
The Regenerate dialog box opens.
In the Type list, select the type of subindex that you want to regenerate. The following values are available:
In the Priority list, select the priority for the action, which determines how the action is queued.
