Administrating MarkLogic Server

Clearing a Forest

You can clear the document data from a forest using the Admin Interface. Clearing a forest removes all fragments from the forest, but does not remove its configuration information.

To clear all data from a forest, follow these steps:

  1. Click Forests in the left tree menu. A list of forests appears.

  2. Click your target forest.

  3. Click the Clear button on the Configure tab.

    A confirmation message displays.

  4. Confirm that you want to clear the document data from this forest and click OK.

Clearing data in a forest is a “hot” admin task; the changes take effect immediately.
