JIRA's reindex screen will be familiar to JIRA admins:
Reindexing is an all-or-nothing affair, and unfortunately it's often really slow when you have lots of issues.
...
- Ensure you have the ScriptRunner for JIRA plugin installed.
- On the filesystem, go to the
scripts/directory in your JIRA Home (henceforth $JIRAHOME) directory (create it if not present). - Download the attached reindexprojects.zip
cdto the$JIRAHOME/scriptsdirectory and unzip. You should now have a file,$JIRAHOME/scripts/com/onresolve/scriptrunner/canned/jira/admin/ReindexProjects.groovy- In JIRA type
.orggto bring up the admin search, and search for 'Built-in Scripts':
- You should now see a new Reindex projects built-in script:
- Click 'Reindex projects', pick the projects you want to reindex, and click 'Preview' or 'Run':
..and voilà.
You might have noticed, there is already a built-in script called "Reindex issues", which does indeed claim to reindex particular projects:
This "reindex" works by.. doing a JIRA search for issues by filter or project, and then reindexing them. Can you spot the flaw in that scheme? Correct - if your indexes are broken to begin with, it's not going to work (and why would you be reindexing unless your indexes were broken?).
