Delete a Database and All the Documents that it Contains

The DREREMOVEDBASE action allows the DIH to delete an IDOL database and all the documents it contains. Use the following action syntax:

http://DIHhost:IndexPort/DREREMOVEDBASE?DREDbName=DatabaseName

When you send this action to the DIH instead of to an IDOL Server, note:

  • DIHhost is the IP address (or name) of the machine on which the DIH is installed, IndexPort is the number of the port that you use to send index actions to the DIH, and DatabaseName is the name of the database to remove.
  • This action removes the database from every child IDOL Server that has a database of the specified name. If all IDOL Servers are identical, all are treated equally. If the IDOL Servers are not all identical, this action might have unintended consequences.
