Quick reference to index the Helix Server
This chapter is a quick reference for performing an initial index of your Helix Server. For a small site you may want to index everything but for a larger site you might only want to index a project.
Small site deployment
To index all of the changes in your depot, use the following curl request:
curl -H X-Auth-Token: <X-AUTH-TOKEN> -X POST http://localhost:1601/api/v1.2/index/changes
- For more information on the fields that can be used to limit your request, see Index endpoints in Access the Swagger REST API .
- For information on small site deployments, see Small site deployment.
Large site deployment
To index all changes in separate parts of your depot, run the curl request only on the parts of the depot you need to.
For example if you have project A, project B, and project C but you only want to index project A and project B:
Project A:
curl -H X-Auth-Token: <X-AUTH-TOKEN> -X POST -d '{"depotFile":"//projA/..."}' http://projA.perforce.com:1601/api/v1.2/index/changes
Project B
curl -H X-Auth-Token: <X-AUTH-TOKEN> -X POST -d '{"depotFile":"//projB/..."}' http://projB.perforce.com:1601/api/v1.2/index/changes
- For more information on the fields that can be used to limit your request, see Index endpoints in Access the Swagger REST API .
- For information on large site deployments, see Large site deployment.
