Reindexing completely repopulates the index
table in the database or the HPSTRA index in Elasticsearch with indexed
business data from all instances of the task type currently in the system.
If the number of task instances is very large, reindexing the
database can take a relatively long time to complete. For example, several
thousand task instances may take two to five minutes to process; larger numbers
will take proportionately longer. Reindexing a HPSTRA index in Elastic search
is much faster.
Reindexing deletes all index contents and
reinserts the task business data for the available task instances of the task
type. For HPSTRA indexes, reindexing also drops the existing index in
Elasticsearch.
You can reindex two or more task types
simultaneously. However, if the number of task instances is large, this may
result in increased consumption of system resources and performance issues.
Reindexing runs as a background process. You
