can not update index in index management

i not found the action button or view

@zhaoxiong123, after reworking indexer infrastructure in Magento this action is not available from admin, because it is not needed, but there is ability to do reindex using Magento CLI:

Usage: bin/magento indexer:<option>

Maybe message should be added in Index Management UI pointing out that things have been changed since Magento 1? It's not the first bug report regarding this.

@orlangur, good point. Need to ask PO.

I just downloaded Magento 2 and looking at a way to reindex. I found that there is no UI solution to re-index. It would help user's by notifying them that unlike magento 1.x, magento 2 does not support UI to reindex. Also I do not understand why re-indexing has been removed from UI and only console is the option. Any advantages ? Web site owners are not techie to play around with console to reindex website, they will always have to rely on someone.

I am not sure if I am completely right, kindly provide your feedback.

Hey Steve, I am quite aware about this link and have gone through it. Non techie will face problems as they do not have a web interface to re-index. I am not sure if you have understood my concern of point.

I have the same problem as @sumanparihar, with Custome Grid and Catalog Search. Tried to change the status in the database (table: mr_indexer_state), then activate this process again. Process start, but the result is the same.

I am here looking for a clear answer on why reindex is not an option from the admin?

The links provided have lots of great information, but it's not clear whether or not we should have the reindex action available in the admin ui.

I can't believe the index option was removed from admin.

1. Store owners are very often non technical people who never saw a command line in their lives so they will not be able to reindex.
2. Is the new system infallible and never a manual reindex is required? I doubt it! What I imagine would happen is us getting a couple of tickets every week just to reindex for them.
3. This basically makes it impossible to have a mangeto store on a shared hosting. You don't get ssh access on most of shared hosting packages so many would run composer commands locally and then move files via ftp. But what about reindexing?

"because it is not needed, but there is ability to do reindex using Magento CLI"
either it is not needed and you should remove it entirely and from cli or it is needed and then it should be in both places. If it is not needed why is it in cli?

On production site should not be cases when indexer must be run manually, but I believe that possibility of manually mark index as invalid should be present in UI.

[kevando]

Yeah I mean I'm happy to fork the repo and develop this for magento2 but I just cant imagine it's not there by design.

How the administrator can know that he needs to invalidate the cache?
