Hi Jewel, As Juergen suggested, InitializeBrowse is not there anymore. Run the scripts bin/index-init or bin/index-update as needed.
The scripts aim to create a browse index and then a search index. Indexing helps you browse and search faster. Roughly speaking, the steps of indexing is to tokenize some search strings into word list, filter out undesirable words, some fine touches on the remaining word list, and then put them into a mini database (not that of postgres) recording what words can be found in which item. With regard to scheduled maintenance, it is NOT necessary to re-index dspace unless you've made changes to the indexing rules or have edited the database directly. Regards, Allen Lam.
