There are scenarios that require to force a job to reindex all of its documents into MCF. Note that doing this does not delete the documents . Indeed, for from the index, so users can still search them.
As an example of such scenarios, take a filer job, : normally MCF compares the a document that it is stored in its internal database before fetching the content of the file. If they are the same, the document is not fetched because it is identical. But if we do a modification into modify the job like adding itself, for instance if we add a metadata, the change would not be visible because the document is not reindexedthis has no impact on the documents themselves, and therefore MCF will not update the index.
Some jobs do not do such comparisons of document (for instance the web job, that does a full indexation every time, because it cannot compare a webpage to crawl with a webpage already), and for such jobs this MCF reindexing process is not useful.
For other types of jobs, if you are unsure about the behavior of the crawler, you can apply this process.
The process is into in 2 steps :
Go to the MCF admin UI then into Jobs → List all jobs and click into ‘View’ in front of the job that you want to reindex the documentswill have its documents reindexed
At the end of the page of the job click on the yellow button : “Reset seeding”
