3.2.2. Running the db2index.pl Script
After deleting an indexing entry or some of the index types from an indexing entry, run the

2
cd /usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name

For more information about using the db2index.pl Perl script, refer to Directory Server
Configuration, Command, and File Reference. Table 10.6, “db2index Options” describes the
