Attribute Indexes Created by the Directory Preparation Tool

Attribute indexes improve the performance of search algorithms. The tool offers to index attributes. If you choose to do so, it will add indexes for the all the Communications Suite products. Therefore, once you have run the indexing for one product, you do not need to reindex for other products. If you try to index the same attributes again, nothing happens. The tool calls db2index for each attribute being indexed, but only if the index does not already exist.

The following table lists all the attributes the Directory Preparation Tool indexes, grouped by suffix category. It also lists the type of indexes created for each attribute. For more information about Directory Server indexing, see http://docs.sun.com/coll/1316.1.

Suffix	Attributes Indexed	Type of Indexes Added
User/Group	`mail`	`pres`, `eq`, `approx`, `sub`
	`mailAlternateAddress`	`pres`, `eq`, `approx`, `sub`
	`mailEquivalentAddress`	`pres`, `eq`, `approx`, `sub`
	`member`	`eq`
	`cosspecifier`	`pres`

User/Group (for Access Manager – Schema 2)	`inetDomainBaseDN`	`pres`, `eq`
	`sunPreferredDomain`	`pres`, `eq`
	`associatedDomain`	`pres`, `eq`
	`o`	`pres`, `eq`
	`sunOrganizationAlias`	`pres`, `eq`

DC Tree (for Schema 1)	`inetDomainBaseDN`	`pres`, `eq`
DC Tree (for Schema 1)	`inetCanonicalDomainName`	`pres`, `eq`

Personal Address Book (PAB)	`memberOfManagedGroup`	`pres`, `eq`
	`memberOfPAB`	`pres`, `eq`

Should you decide to add further indexes on your own, instructions for adding indexes can be found in the Directory Server documentation.
