Deleting Indexes From The Server Console - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.2 - ADMINISTRATOR Administrator's Manual

As the procedure for deleting browsing indexes is different, it is covered in a
separate section. This section contains the following procedures:
•

Deleting Indexes From the Server Console

• Deleting Indexes From the Command Line
• Deleting Browsing Indexes From the Server Console
• Deleting Browsing Indexes From the Command Line
CAUTION You must not delete system indexes as deleting them can
significantly affect Directory Server performance. System indexes
are located in the
database,cn=plugins,cn=config
indexes,cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
entry.
Take care when deleting default indexes as this can also affect
how Directory Server works.
For further information on system and default indexes see the
Netscape Directory Server Deployment Guide.
Deleting Indexes From the Server Console
Using the Directory Server Console you can delete indexes you have created,
indexes used by other Netscape servers (such as Netscape Messaging Server or
Netscape Calendar Server), and default indexes. You cannot delete system
indexes.
To delete indexes using the Directory Server Console:
In the Directory Server Console, select the Configuration tab.
1.
Expand the Data node and expand the suffix associated with the database
2.

index.

If you want to delete all indexes maintained for a particular attribute, select the
attribute's cell under Attribute Name and click Delete Attribute.
