DRECOMPACT
Allows you to reduce the space left when documents are deleted from the data index. The DRECOMPACT
index action fills the space created through the document deletion with new documents. This process is similar to the de-fragmentation process.
After the compaction is complete, the index action recalculates the SortField
information.
NOTE: Micro Focus recommends that you back up IDOL Server before compacting it.
By default, the DRECOMPACT
index action automatically copies the data index to the internalbackup
directory in the IDOL Server data directory. To change this directory, set the PreCompactionBackup configuration parameter, or use the Backup index action parameter.
By default, the DRECOMPACT
index action does not compact the phrase index, because doing so can take a significant amount of time for large indexes. You can configure this by setting the parameter CompactPhraseIndex in the [Schedule]
section of the configuration file.
