Distributed Index Handler 26.2

# DREREGENERATE

Allows you to regenerate an index. You can use this index action to:

- update a specified index after a validation failure (see DREVALIDATE), or if you want to modify or define new fields after indexing content into Distributed Index Handler, without reindexing your data. In this case, set Type to the type of index that you want to regenerate.

- update the field configuration for your server, and regenerate any indexes, without restarting the server. In this case, set FieldProcessingSection to the field processing configuration section that you want to update or regenerate.

- fix the parent-child relationships for ReferenceMemoryMappedType fields that have been indexed out of order. For example, a child in the hierarchy might be indexed before its parent. In this case, set Type to `ReferenceMemoryMapped`.

You must set Type, unless you set FieldProcessingSection.

You must set FieldProcessingSection if you want to use AugmentFieldCSVs, AugmentNegativeFieldCSVs, DiminishFieldCSVs, or DiminishNegativeFieldCSVs to update the field configuration.
