db2index – Directory Server script for indexing attributes

Synopsis

db2index [-Z serverID] [-n backend | {-s includeSuffix}* -t attribute[:indextypes[:matchingrules]] -T vlvTag] [-h]

Reindexes the database index files. The Directory Server must be stopped prior to running this script.

A summary of options is included below:

-Z Server Identifier: The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
-n Backend Name: The name of the LDBM database to reindex. Example: userRoot
-s includeSuffix: Specifies suffixes to be included or the subtrees to be included
-t attributeName[:indextypes[:matchingrules]]: The attribute to index. Optionally you can specify a comma separated list of index types: eq, sub, pres, and approx. An optional matching rule OID can also be set.
-T vlvTag: This is the name of the vlv index entry under cn=config.
-h: Display the usage.
