You can make a CAE Feeder reindex selected contents by invoking JMX operation "reindexContent", "reindexByQuery", or "reindexByType" of MBean com.coremedia:type=CaeFeeder.

Reindexing can be expensive, if many contents are affected. It may block indexing of other repository changes. It can be used for example to reindex all content of a specific type after indexing rules for that type have been changed. To this end, the "reindexByType" JMX operation can be used.

The "reindexByQuery" operation is more generic and takes a Unified API query as documented in interface com.coremedia.cap.content.query.QueryService. All contents that match the query (and are not excluded from feeding) will be reindexed.

If the CAE Feeder is stopped during reindexing, it will continue with the next content after restart.
