Scheduled indexing is used to fully rebuild an index automatically and regularly.
Scheduled indexing is available on Staging, Production, and Development instances.
Scheduled indexing features are not available for Cloudboxes or Sandboxes, because these
instance types don't execute scheduled processes. Salesforce recommends rebuilding the
index on a Staging instance and then replicating the updated index from Staging to
Production. To avoid performance issues, avoid scheduling index rebuilds or using
incremental indexing on a Production instance.
Note: It is recommended that you turn off
scheduled indexing during data replication.
