A manual rebuild of the Gravity search index can be run from the Gravity OSGi console (using Telnet or putty). To be able to access the OSGi console you need to setup a Telnet session on the same system the Gravity server is running. Following is an example on how to do this using Telnet on the IBM i. In practice the steps shown below should be almost the same for other operating systems and telnet utilities (for putty users, do not forget to select 'Connection type: Telnet).


  • Start a telnet session using localhost or 127.0.0.1 on the system Gravity server is actively running on, use port 45051 as the port to connect to.

  • Enter the Gravity command to rebuild the search index: gsolrri

  • Disconnect from the OSGi console

The disconnect command expects a response in the form of the letter 'y' for a positive confirmation.

Note. DO NOT enter 'exit' as a means to leave the OSGi console, entering exit will, upon positive confirmation, terminate the Gravity server.

Feedback on the status of the rebuild can only be seen in the Gravity server log, for example:
