# RegenerateSecIndex

Regenerate the security index to repair it after a validation failure. When the ValidateSecIndex part of a validation fails, you can stop IDOL Server, set `RegenerateSecIndex` to `True`, and restart. On restart, IDOL Server attempts to rebuild the security index.

The security index regeneration relies on the node table files (`nodetable-ndd` and `nodetable-nref`). These files must be consistent and complete for a successful regeneration.

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

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