# RegenerateRefIndex

Regenerate the reference index to repair it after a validation failure. When the ValidateRefIndex part of a validation fails, you can stop the Content component, set `RegenerateRefIndex` to `True`, and restart. On restart, Content attempts to rebuild the reference index.

The reference index regeneration relies on the node table files (`nodetable-ndd` and `nodetable-nref`). These files must be consistent and complete for a successful regeneration.

After the reference index has been regenerated, OpenText recommends that you disable `RegenerateRefIndex` again to avoid wasting time by regenerating the reference index every time you restart Content.

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

Default: | False
