Disabling a Forest

You can disable a forest using the Admin Interface. Disabling a forest unmounts the forest from the database and clears all memory caches for all the forests in the database. The database remains unavailable for any query operations while any of its forests are disabled.

Disabling a forest does not delete the configuration or document data. The forest can later be re-enabled by clicking Enable.

To disable a forest, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Forests icon on the left tree menu.

  2. Decide which forest you want to disable.

  3. Click the forest name, either on the tree menu or the summary page.

    The Forest Configuration page appears.

  4. Click the Disable button on the Forest Configuration page.

    A confirmation message appears.

  5. Confirm that you want to disable the forest by clicking Disable.
