vlvindex (Create virtual list view indexes)
To run the vlvindex script, the server must be stopped. The vlvindex script
creates virtual list view (VLV) indexes, known in the Directory Server Console as
browsing indexes. VLV indexes introduce flexibility in the way you view search
results. Using VLV indexes, you can organize search results alphabetically or in
reverse alphabetical order, and you can scroll through the list of results. VLV index
configuration must already exist prior to running this script.
Syntax
Options
You must specify either the -n or the -s option.
Shell script: vlvindex [-d debugLevel] [-n backendInstance] [-s
suffix][-T vlvTag]

Parameter Description
-d debugLevel Specifies the debug level to use during index creation. Debug
levels are defined in “nsslapd-errorlog-level (Error Log
Level),” on page 58.
-D Specifies the server configuration directory that contains the
configuration information for the index creation process. You
must specify the full path to the slapd-serverID directory.
-n backendInstance Name of the database containing the entries to index.
-s suffix Name of the suffix containing the entries to index.
-T vlvTag VLV index identifier to use to create VLV indexes. You can
use the Console to specify VLV index identifier for each
database supporting your directory tree, as described in the
Red Hat Directory Server Administrator’s Guide. You can define
additional VLV tags by creating them in LDIF and adding
them to Directory Server’s configuration, as described in the
Red Hat Directory Server Administrator’s Guide. In any case, we
recommend you use the DN of the entry for which you want
to accelerate the search sorting.
