Removing a document content index

The Content Manager Enterprise Studio Remove command removes all references to the content index from Content Manager Enterprise Studio. However, it does not remove the index files from the disk. If this is required, you need to delete the index files manually. See below for removing IDOL databases.

Caution: You must suspend the Content Indexing processor before using the Content Manager Enterprise Studio Remove command. See Configuring event processing.

  1. Click to expand Datasets.
  2. Right-click your dataset and on the Content Index menu, click Remove.
  3. Select Delete Content Index from IDOL if you wish to delete the content index from the IDOL database in addition to the content index from the Content Manager dataset.
  4. Click OK.

The content index has been removed from Content Manager Enterprise Studio.

It is possible to delete an existing IDOL database. You can run the index command DREDELDBASE from a Web browser to delete all documents from an IDOL Server database.

DREDbName specifies the database from which to delete the documents. The database name is in the format CM_[DBID], where DBID is the database ID that is set in Content Manager Enterprise Studio.

The example below uses localhost for the name of the server hosting IDOL.

Example:

http://localhost:9001/DREDELDBASE?DREDbName=CM_45

This command uses port 9001 to delete all documents from the IDOL Server CM_45 database.

After deleting, compact the database using Optimize through Content Manager Enterprise Studio. See Checking or optimizing a document content index.
