Rebuild index data within a backend based on the Berkeley DB Java Edition. Note that this tool uses different approaches to rebuilding indexes based on whether it is running in online mode (as a task) rather than in offline mode. Running in offline mode will often provide significantly better performance. Also note that running in online mode will prevent the server from using that index while the rebuild is in progress, so some searches may behave differently while a rebuild is active than when it is not.
An index must be rebuilt if the database already contains data when the index is configured. The backend containing the provided base DN must be a local DB backend. The types of indexes that can be rebuilt include system indexes, attribute indexes and vlv indexes.
This tool features both an offline mode of operation as well as the ability to schedule an operation to run within the Directory Server's process. To schedule an operation supply LDAP connection options that allow this tool to communicate with the server through its task interface. Tasks can be scheduled to run immediately or at a later time (see Task Scheduling Options below). Once scheduled, tasks can be managed using the manage-tasks tool.
