Resetting the datastore

To reset the datastore you can use the force-datastore paster command. This command will allow you to force reload on a single resource (if you provide its ID), or all resources in the system.

Force all resources to reload into datastore

paster --plugin=ckanext-nhsengland force-datastore -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini

Force a single resource to reload into datastore

paster --plugin=ckanext-nhsengland force-datastore <ID> -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini

Note This command only submits the task to the datapusher.
