# Index QMS Rules

You publish QMS rules by indexing them into the `Activated` database in the Promotion Agentstore.

To index rules into the Promotion Agentstore

- Send a `DREADD` action. This action takes the following form:

      http://AgentStoreHost:IndexPort/DREADD?FileName=FileName.idx&DREDbName=Database

  where,

  `AgentStoreHost` | is the IP address or host name of the machine on which the Promotion Agentstore is installed.
  `IndexPort` | is the index port of the Promotion Agentstore (specified in the `IndexPort` parameter in the `[Server]` section of the Promotion Agentstore configuration file).
  `FileName` | is the name of the IDX file that contains your rules.
  `Database` | is the name of the database in the Promotion Agentstore that contains QMS rules. QMS searches for rules in the `Activated` database.

For details about the `DREADD` index action, refer to the IDOL Server Administration Guide.
