limefu

limefu is a command line tool that helps you with various administrative tasks.

All commands are executed by the user running the command tool. You need to ensure that your user have the correct rights to the SQL server in order to be able to manage your database.

All commands in the examples below are for the currently latest Lime CRM Server version. For older versions, always check out the built-in help in the limefu commands.

Running limefu

1. Open a Lime CRM Command Prompt by double-clicking the shortcut placed on the desktop when installing Lime CRM Server. If you can't find the shortcut, open a regular command prompt as administrator and enter:

cd c:\Program Files (x86)\Lundalogik
procmd.bat

2. You can now run limefu. For example, to display the built-in help information:

(lime) C:\Program Files (x86)\Lundalogik>limefu --help

Commands

Registering a database

In the following example, a SQL Server database named limedb located at sqlserver01 will be registered using the display name “Acme Inc. CRM”:

limefu database register --sql-server sqlserver01 --sql-database limedb --application "Acme Inc. CRM" --admin-password "supersecretpassword"

How to:

Update an index for a specific limetype

If you want to update one or multiple specific indexes, do as follows. To be clear: this will give you a clean index with only the specified type(s) generated.

1. First you need to create an index with command:

limefu search create-index -a <application name>

This will create an empty index for you. The name of the recently created index will be promped to you when the creation is done. This name will be used in the next step.

2. Now we need to update the created index for a specific limetype. This we do by the command:

limefu search update-index -a <application name> -x <the name of the recently created index> -t <what limetype that should be indexed (if multiple, just write them comma separated)>

3. Lastly we need to activate the new index with the command:

limefu search activate-index -a <app name> -x <the index name>

Now you have an index with specific types generated.
