# MaxDocumentCountLower

The lower limit for the maximum number of documents that a server can contain.

Use this setting in combination with MaxDocumentCountUpper to control the stopping and starting of document indexing into a server. When the upper limit is reached, IDOL Server returns the `<FULL>` flag in the GetStatus action. It removes the `<FULL>` status only when you remove a sufficient number of documents to reach `MaxDocumentCountLower`.

To prevent loss of data, engines that are marked as full continue to process index actions. The `<FULL>` marker is a guide for the component that sends index actions to the server. For example, DIH does not send index actions to full engines when you configure it with the `RespectChildFullness` parameter set to `True`. For more details, refer to the DIH Administration Guide.
