Problem Definition
As a JIRA Administrator, I would like to be able to manually schedule a one-time 'Lock JIRA and rebuild index' action, so that it can take place without blocking users at a time when they might be still working on JIRA, and without requiring me to actually click the Re-Index button at such an inconvenient time.
Suggested Solution
Workaround
Trigger Full reindex using REST API and schedule it use Cron job.

[JRASERVER-61325] Add 'Schedule Re-index' button for scheduling it to an appropriate date and time
@Henry Lin
It's fairly basic but here it is.
The rest call is made over 8080 as opposed to the secured port because I kept getting SSL errors and couldnt be bothered. as for the authstring, you need to literally convert username:password to base64 and use that. There may be other 'more secure' ways to auth, but this has worked for all rest calls I've needed to make. I run this as a daily job, but obviously you can set it to as frequently as you need it to.
String authString = "your base64 encoded username:password"
String url = "server-url:8080/rest/api/2/reindex?type=FOREGROUND"
def post = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
post.addRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic "+authString);
post.setRequestMethod("POST");
post.connect();
int status = post.getResponseCode();
switch (status)
return "Great Success"
For those interested that use Scriptrunner, I have a job script that performs this function.
Why isn't this already a thing for such a seasoned application that requires reindexing every time you make any number of changes?
This Would be useful.
