Rebuild the Contents of a Database

This procedure describes how to rebuild the contents of an existing database. You rebuild a database to ensure it accurately reflects the current state of the archive folders it references. You refresh a database if the only change in any of the archive folders is that more files have been added since the previous rebuild or refresh. See Refresh the Contents of a Database.

If you want to modify the set of archive folders the database uses, see Build the Contents of a Database for the First Time.

To rebuild the contents of a database:

1. Load one of the search profiles that reference the database you want to rebuild. See Load a Search Profile. The search profile you load must permit rebuilds of its database. In a network installation, it is common for the administrator to control database updates. See Database Considerations in a Network Installation.
2. If necessary, choose Options | User Options, click Database options, and adjust the settings for the database. See Set User Options.
3. In OL Connect Search, choose Options | Rebuild Database.

   OL Connect Search prompts you to confirm the rebuild.

   

4. Click Yes to confirm.

   OL Connect Search populates each record in the database with the information from all of the PDI files associated with the document referenced by that record. When it completes this operation, the newly rebuilt database is available for searching.
