Updating an Overview Using the Command Line

You should update an overview whenever you have added, removed, or modified the images in an indexed catalog.

Before running any of the command-line tools on Unix, you must source the runtime environment.

To update an overview, use the command line tool isindex, located in <Express Server installation directory>/ImageServer/bin as follows:

$ isindex –catalog catalog1 –overview update

See also "isindex".

NOTE: When you create or update an overview for a catalog that is part of a multicatalog, that multicatalog is unavailable until the overview is completed.
