DREINITIAL

Allows you to delete all data from your IDOL Server data index, and to reset the data index. DREINITIAL also clears the contents of the index queue, including any queued index actions.

You can also use DREINITIAL to restore a backup file (created by using the DREBACKUP index action) to an IDOL Server, using the following index action:

http://IDOLhost:indexPort/DREINITIAL?path

where,

IDOLhost is the IP address or host name of the machine on which IDOL is installed.
indexPort is the IDOL Content Component index port (specified by the IndexPort parameter in the configuration file [Server] section).
path is the path to the location of the IDOL Server backup, created by DREBACKUP.

Note: If you use DREINITIAL to restore from a backup, the index action is added to the backup event list. You can control the length of this list by using the BackupListLength configuration parameter in the IDOL Server configuration file.

The DREINITIAL index action initializes or restores only the index data files, and does not affect your configuration file. When you initialize the index, or restore from a backup, it does not overwrite any configuration file changes you have made.

Note: When you restore from a backup using DREINITIAL, IDOL Server does not reindex the data.

When you want to update a configuration parameter that requires you to reindex your data, you can use DREEXPORTIDX or DREEXPORTXML to export an IDX or XML file. You can then initialize your index, make your configuration changes and index the IDX or XML file back into IDOL Server.

Examples

http://12.3.4.56:20001/DREINITIAL?

This index action uses port 20001 to reset the data index of IDOL Content Component, which is located on a machine with the IP address 12.3.4.56.

http://12.3.4.56:20001/DREINITIAL?E:\DataIndex_Backup

This index action uses port 20001 to restore the files backed up on E:\DataIndex_Backup to IDOL, which is located on a machine with the IP address 12.3.4.56.
