# DREVALIDATE

Checks the Content sub-indexes to see if they are correctly populated and sends information about any detected issues to the application log.

You must set Type to the type of subindex that you want to validate. You can specify only one Type option per action.

When validation fails for a particular index, you can regenerate most indexes by using the DREREGENERATE index action, or by using the Regenerate configuration parameters in the `[Server]` section of your Content component configuration file. When a diskindex or nodetable validation fails, you cannot regenerate the index. In this case, you must restore the index from a good backup or re-index your data. For a diskindex failure, you can export your data and re-index from the export. However, for a nodetable failure you must re-index from your source data.
