Even if you log on with administrative credentials, you must open an elevated Command Prompt window to run this command. You must also run this command from the application tier for Team Foundation.

CollectionName

Specifies the name of the team project collection. If the name has spaces, enclose the name with quotation marks, for example, "Fabrikam Web Site".

CollectionId

Specifies the identification number of the team project collection.

ServerPath

Specifies the path to a code file.

/indexingStatus

Show the status and configuration of the code indexing service.

/setIndexing:[ on | off | keepupOnly ]

• on: Start indexing all changesets.

• off: Stop indexing all changesets.

• keepupOnly: Stop indexing previously created changesets and start indexing new changesets only.

/ignoreList:[ add | remove | removeAll | view ] ServerPath

You can use the wildcard character (*) at the start, end, or both ends of the server path.

Specifies a list of code files and their paths that you don't want indexed.

• add: Add the file that you don't want indexed to the ignored file list.

• remove: Remove the file that you want indexed from the ignored file list.

• removeAll: Clear the ignored file list and start indexing all files.

• view: See all the files that aren't being indexed.

/listLargeFiles [/fileCount:FileCount/minSize:MinSize]

Shows the specified number of files that exceeds the specified size in KB. You can then use the /ignoreList option to exclude these files from indexing.

For this, you'll need Team Foundation Server 2013 with Update 3.

/reindexAll

Clear previously indexed data and restart indexing.

/destroyCodeIndex [/noPrompt]

Delete the code index and remove all indexed data. Does not require confirmation if you use the /noPrompt option.

/temporaryDataSizeLimit:[ view | <SizeInGBs> | disable ]

Control how much temporary data that CodeLens creates when processing changesets. The default limit is 6 GB (2 GB in Update 5).

• view: Show the current size limit.

• SizeInGBs: Change the size limit.

• disable: Remove the size limit.

This limit is checked before CodeLens processes a new changeset. If temporary data exceeds this limit, CodeLens will pause processing past changesets, not new ones. CodeLens will restart processing after the data is cleaned up and falls below this limit. Cleanup runs automatically once a day. This means temporary data might exceed this limit until cleanup starts running.

For this, you'll need Team Foundation Server 2013 with Update 4.

/indexHistoryPeriod:[ view | all | <NumberOfMonths> ]

Control how long to index your change history. This affects how much history CodeLens shows you. The default limit is 12 months. This means CodeLens shows your change history from the last 12 months only.

• view: Show the current number of months.

• all: Index all change history.

• NumberOfMonths: Change the number of months used to index change history.

For this, you'll need Team Foundation Server 2013 with Update 4.

/collectionName:CollectionName

Specifies the name of the team project collection on which to run the CodeIndex command. Required if you don't use /CollectionId.

/collectionId:CollectionId

Specifies the identification number of the team project collection on which to run the CodeIndex command. Required if you don't use /CollectionName.
