Distributed Index Handler 12.13

# DRECOMPACT

Allows you to reduce the space left when documents are deleted from the data index. The `DRECOMPACT` index action fills the space created through the document deletion with new documents. This process is similar to the de-fragmentation process.

After the compaction is complete, the index action recalculates the `SortField` information.

NOTE: Micro Focus recommends that you back up IDOL Server before compacting it.
