Populating Your New Index Using ReIndex

You use the ReIndex utility to populate your new index table with data. You download this utility from the Products/Horizon/Downloads/Upgrades page on the SirsiDynix customer web site at clientcare.sirsidynix.com. You run ReIndex from a command prompt. Before you run it, you add command-line arguments or “switches” to the ReIndex executable to set the type of index and the Horizon index code that your database builds.

To populate your new index using ReIndex

1 Close any running Horizon applications.
2 At a command prompt, go to the directory on the workstation where you downloaded the ReIndex executable.
3 Run this command to display a list of valid switches you can add to ReIndex:

ReIndex.exe /?

Note: You must enter a space before the slash ( / ) character.

The Command Prompt displays these parameters:

4 Enter one of these options at the command prompt, followed by any optional switches you want to use:
If the index you want to build is bib-based, enter this command:

ReIndex.exe /sserver /ppassword /uuser /ddatabase /m1 /iindexcode

If the index you want to build is authority-based, enter this command:

ReIndex.exe /sserver /ppassword /uuser /ddatabase /m2 /iindexcode

Note: The index code you enter in the “i” switch is the code you gave the index definition in the Table Editor in a previous step. (For more information, see Creating the Index Definition in the Table Editor .)

Note: Depending on how many records you are building in your index, the ReIndex process may take a long time.
