# RegenerateParametricIndex

Regenerate modified parametric fields without reindexing IDOL Content Component. Set `RegenerateParametricIndex` to `True` if you want to define ParametricType fields or add extra ParametricType fields but have already indexed content into IDOL Content Component. This allows IDOL Content Component to generate the files that it requires to internally identify ParametricType fields at startup, so that you need only to restart IDOL Content Component to be able to use ParametricType fields, rather than having to reindex all your data.

After the parametric index has been regenerated, Micro Focus recommends that you disable `RegenerateParametricIndex` again to avoid wasting time by regenerating the parametric index every time you restart IDOL Content Component.

NOTE: You can also regenerate the ParametricType index without restarting the server by using the DREREGENERATE index action.
