7.3.18 vlvindex (Creates 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 search results are viewed. VLV indexes can organize search results
alphabetically or in reverse alphabetical order, making it easy to scroll through the list of results.
VLV index configuration must already exist prior to running this script.
