Scheduling re-indexing with EZIPUTIL

By default, ExtremeZ-IP automatically re-indexes file entries for its indexed search. But you can use EZIPUTIL in a batch file or script to schedule re-indexing on a set schedule during off-hours and trigger it with a scheduling service of your choice.

  1. First, disable automatic re-indexing by removing the check in the Automatically rebuild sparse indexes checkbox found in the Search Settings dialog box (see section about “Settings”).
  2. EZIPUTIL.exe is located in the chosen ExtremeZ-IP program installation directory on the server. Use the following command, which is included in the EZIPUTIL utility, to trigger the re-indexing of a volume manually.

You can also use it in a script or batch file to schedule re-indexing during off-hours:

EZIPUTIL VOLUME /REINDEX /NAME:volumename /PATH:root directory path [/SERVICENAME:servicename]

SERVICENAME is needed only if ExtremeZ-IP is running on a cluster.
