Cloning an index for History Mass Sync

Before you set up the integration with Order Service, many orders might have been copied to order history tables. To have a single source of visibility, save these orders in Order Search.

You can create indices for the history time period to store historical orders by passing the nameSuffix optional parameter to the cloneSearchIndex API.

Ensure to set the property, use_index_name_in_request=true so that an index is created by suffixing the nameSuffix value that you passed to the index ID. For example, for order index, the index name becomes order-<nameSuffix>.

Note: '-' is appended by default. No need to pass it in nameSuffix.

For more information about the default index name format, see Cloning an index. After completing the initial historical orders migration, reset the use_index_name_in_request property.
