Remapping a Fisheye User after indexing. Does it need to reindex the VCS again?

Question

After connecting a large perforce repo to fisheye and indexing we've realised that some of the users need to have their fisheye username mappings adjusted (because of AD changes)

We've added the mappings but I'm wondering does this mean we need to perform a full reindex in fisheye of the perforce repo?

Thanks Douglass, however ran into another issue with this. JIRA's source tab doesn't use the Fisheye's user mapping :(

Hi Collin.

It's not necessary to re-index you entire repository after configuring the User Mappings option - just confirmed that locally - I believe it is just a pointer to the new user.

Hope this helps.
