IDOL Server 12.13

# Enable Configuration Changes

When you change an IDOL component configuration file, you must stop and restart the component so that it reads the new configuration.

To stop and restart an IDOL component

- For Windows. Display the Windows Services dialog box, stop the component service, then start it again.

- For UNIX. Use the `Stop.sh` stop script to stop the component, then use the `Start.sh` script to start it again. These scripts are supplied with the IDOL Server installation.

- For any platform. In the Console page in IDOL Admin, click the Service Control tab, then click Stop Service. Then manually restart the service by using the start script (UNIX), or the Windows Services dialog box (Windows).

Some IDOL Content component configuration changes require you to reindex your data. In these cases, Micro Focus recommends that you use the `DREEXPORTIDX` or `DREEXPORTXML` index actions to export your content to an IDX or XML document. You can then initialize your index, make your configuration changes, and index the IDX or XML file back into the IDOL Content component.
