It can be useful sometimes to force a job to reindex all documents. Indeed, for a filer job, normally MCF compares the 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 the job like adding a metadata, the change would not be visible because the document is not reindexed.
The process is into 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 documents
At the end of the page of the job click on the yellow button : “Reset seeding”
Go to Outputs → List Output Connections then click on the View button in front of the output : DatafariSolrNoTika
Then click on the yellow button named : “Remove all associated records”
You can now start your job and all the documents will be indexed as if it was the first time that you launched the job.
