Catalog Maintenance
Updating the catalog will update all catalog records and remove invalid records. It does this by deleting all indexes and re-cataloging all currently indexed objects. |
Clearing the catalog will remove all entries and create new tables if necessary. |
Clearing reserved uids allows for reducing the size of the catalog after many Zope restart. It can be a dangerous operation if deferred execution of cataloging of objects has not been completed. |
Exporting properties produces a human-readable XML file which can be imported later. It is useful to reconstruct the same catalog information. |
