Setting or changing the merge policy

The mdex-config_MergePolicy attribute in the Global Configuration Record (or GCR) sets the merge policy for the Endeca data domain.

You can set the merge policy by sending a request to the Configuration Web Service to change the settings for the GCR, utilizing any Web services tool, such as soapUI.

Alternatively, you can use the URL /admin/dataDomainName?op=merge command to change the merge policy of a running data domain, or to force a merge.

If you are running a cluster of nodes, this request is routed to the leader node and processed by it for the data domain's index.
