</center>

==Rationale==
After applying customisations, you need to rebuild the indexes. This is required after each change in the indexes configuration.

==Procedure==
Login to your server:
 http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Prepare_Ubuntu/S01

Create a scripts folder.
 su - dspace

 mkdir /home/dspace/scripts
Create the script.
 nano /home/dspace/scripts/build-indexes

Copy and paste the following.
<pre>
#!/bin/bash

#####################################################
## Select an option for index build/update below   ##
## Uncomment the relevant lines below              ##
#####################################################
## REINDEX: (re)build index, wiping out current one if it exists.
#echo "Re-indexing existing indexes... Please wait"
#/home/dspace/bin/dspace index-discovery -b -s

## RECREATE: if updating existing index, force each handle to be reindexed even if uptodate
#echo "Re-creating new indexes... Please wait"
#/home/dspace/bin/dspace index-discovery -f -s

#######################################################################
## This is only required if you use the old browse indexes           ##
## Since DSpace version 4.2, discovery is default                    ##
## Uncomment the lines below with a single hash to enable, if needed ##
#######################################################################
#echo "Building non-SOLR search and browse indexes... Please wait"
#sudo service tomcat8 stop
#sleep 5
#/home/dspace/bin/dspace index-init
#sudo service tomcat8 start
</pre>

{{NANO}}

Make the script executable.
 chmod 0755 /home/dspace/scripts/build-indexes

Now you can re-build your indexes '''WHEN NEEDED''' by simply typing;
 /home/dspace/scripts/build-indexes
