# RegenerateVectorIndex

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

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

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

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
