# RepositoryStorage

CAUTION: `RepositoryStorage` is an advanced configuration option. Do not change this parameter value unless it has been recommended by Micro Focus Big Data Platform Support.

`RepositoryStorage` controls the way that IDOL Server stores and accesses the `dynterm` index, which contains indexed terms and their document occurrence information.

By default, `RepositoryStorage` is set to `True`, which is the recommended value. This method reduces the disk footprint for the IDOL Server index, improves the query performance (particularly during indexing), and is more resilient if the indexing process is interrupted (for example, if there is a power failure).

IDOL Server version 7 used an older index format by default. In most cases, Micro Focus recommends that you index your content into a new installation of IDOL Server, to take advantage of the new format. However, if you want to upgrade your IDOL Server components to a version later than 10.0 without reindexing your content, you must set `RepositoryStorage` to `False` in your configuration, to remain consistent with the earlier index format. For more information, refer to the IDOL 11 Upgrade Technical Note.
