Turn on/off the simulation mode for the reindexing command.
It is possible to reindex Elasticsearch according to the database by means of the dbs-reindex command provided by the COMMANDER service. Per default, the command is executed in a simulation mode that does not manipulate any data. In order to actually apply the reindexing to the data, the simulation mode has to be turned off with the dbs-configure command. After the non-simulation reindexing has been executed, the simulation mode is turned on again automatically.
These parameters can be given to the dbs-configure command:
| Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
-s | --simulation | Turns the simulation mode After starting the Commander service and after a non-simulation reindexing process, the simulation mode is set to | dbs-configure --simulation |
The following example code shows the commands together with the corresponding command line outputs for a non-simulation reindexing. The simulation mode is turned off in line 7. In line 18, the reindexing is executed for the default tenant starting from 2017-01-01 and ending on 2017-12-31.
