Delete All Documents from a Database
You can delete all documents from an IDOL Content component database either by sending a DREDELBASE
action, or by using the IDOL Admin interface.
Delete All Documents from a Database by Sending an Action
You can delete all documents from an IDOL Content component database by sending a DREDELBASE
action (case sensitive) from your Web browser:
http://ContentHost:indexPort/DREDELDBASE?DREDbName=databaseName
where:
ContentHost
|
is the IP address or host name of the machine on which the IDOL Content component is installed. |
indexPort
|
is the IDOL Content component index port (specified as IndexPort in the [Server] section of the IDOL Content component configuration file). |
databaseName
|
is the name of the database whose documents you want to delete. |
For example:
http://12.3.4.56:20001/DREDELDBASE?DREDbName=Archive
This action uses port 20001
to delete all documents from the Archive
database on a machine with the IP address 12.3.4.56
.
NOTE: This index action does not complete if the configuration file is read-only.
