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.

Wiki MarkupBy 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

Wiki MarkupBy 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.
