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 Server index port (specified by the [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.
http://12.3.4.56:20001/DREINITIAL?
This index action uses port 20001
to reset the data index of IDOL Server, 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
.
