# RegenerateNumericDateIndex

Regenerate modified numeric fields without reindexing IDOL Server. Set `RegenerateNumericDateIndex` to `True` if you want to define NumericDateType fields or add extra NumericDateType fields but have already indexed content into IDOL Server. This allows IDOL Server to generate the files that it requires to internally identify NumericDateType fields at startup, so that you need only to restart IDOL Server to be able to use NumericDateType fields, rather than having to reindex all your data.

After the numeric date index has been regenerated, Micro Focus recommends that you disable `RegenerateNumericDateIndex` again to avoid wasting time by regenerating the numeric date index every time you restart IDOL Server.

NOTE: You can also regenerate the NumericDateType index without restarting the server by using the DREREGENERATE index action.
