Comment: Oracle warning for index-init

...

Warning
titleRequires that you stop Tomcat first

Because this command actually deletes existing Browse Index tables, you must stop Tomcat (or your Servlet Container of choice) before executing index-init. After the indexing command completes, you can restart Tomcat.

Warning
titleKnown Oracle Issues

In many Oracle based DSpace installations, index-init often malfunctions because of Oracle specific permissions. It is therefore advised to stick to index-update instead

By running [dspace]/bin/dspace index-init you will completely regenerate your indexes, tearing down all existing tables and reconstructing with the new configuration.

Code Block
[dspace]/bin/dspace index-init

 

Updating the Indexes

By running [dspace]/bin/dspace index-update you will reindex your full browse & search indexes without modifying the DSpace table structure. (This should be your default approach if indexing, for example, via a cron job periodically). Because it does not "tear down" the existing tables, this command can be run while DSpace (and Tomcat or similar) is still running.
