-rebuildTextIndices

Repotools command that rebuilds the database text indexes.

Purpose

The Jazz™ Team Server manages a directory outside the database that stores all data that is necessary to process full text queries. The location of the directory is configured in the teamserver.properties file. Thus, when the -rebuildTextIndices command is run, the full text directory is created in the location as stated in the properties file.

With this command, it is possible to create this directory and index all artifacts from the database again to make them searchable with full text queries. The following list is some scenarios where creating the database and indexing artifacts again might be necessary:
  • The server moved to a new location and the full text directory was not copied, thus the full text directory must be recreated.
  • A new Jazz server is set up with an existing database, but new teamserver.properties file and thus, a new location for the full text directory.
Note: It is not necessary to run this command when upgrading from one version to another because the full text index is created again.

teamserver.properties The file system path to the teamserver.properties file. No teamserver.properties
