Rebuilding indexes

The CCMS automatically rebuilds indexes as needed. It is very rare that you need to do this yourself.

Rebuilding indexes

Indexes are updated automatically, as the content changes. You do not need to rebuild them except in the following cases:
  • The TEXTML docbase validation tool finds that they are corrupted
  • When instructed by MadCap Software

Rebuilding all of the indexes can require a lot of resources, which may render the system unresponsive.

While the indexes are being rebuilt, the CCMS must not be used. Otherwise, it will operate with incomplete information from the docbase, which might corrupt the content.
