# Initialize the Data Index

You can discard the data that your IDOL Server data index contains and reset it to the state it was in when you first installed IDOL Server. This operation also clears the contents of the index queue, including any queued index actions. Your configuration file is not reset to its initial state.

You can initialize the data index either by sending an action from your Web browser, or by using the IDOL Admin interface.

To initialize the data index by sending an action from your Web browser

Send a `DREINITIAL` action (case sensitive) from your Web browser:

    http://IDOLhost:indexPort/DREINITIAL?

where:

`IDOLhost` | is the IP address or host name of the machine on which IDOL Server is installed.
`indexPort` | is the IDOL Server index port (specified as `IndexPort` in the `[Server]` section of the IDOL Server configuration file).

For example:

    http://12.3.4.56:20001/DREINITIAL?

This action uses port `20001` to reset the data index of an IDOL Server that is located on a machine with the IP address `12.3.4.56` to its original state.

To initialize the data index by using IDOL Admin

1. In the Service Control tab in the Console page, click Initialize IDOL Content.

   A confirmation message appears.

2. Click Delete it.

You can monitor the progress of the `DREINITIAL` action in the Recent Tasks panel.
