DREFLUSHANDPAUSE

Prepares the Content component for a snapshot (hot backup). Content flushes all files to disk and pauses indexing, so a snapshot of the data can be taken. This index action is most applicable if your Content component storage is a SAN with disk-snapshot capabilities.

NOTE: The index ID returned from this index action (for example, INDEXID=41) because you need this ID to restart the paused indexing queue.

After sending the index action, poll Content with the IndexerGetStatus action until the returned status is -16 (Indexing Paused). You can then perform the snapshot.

After the hot backup completes, restart the index queue, again with the IndexerGetStatus action and with the index ID returned from DREFLUSHANDPAUSE. For example:

http://Hume:20000/action=IndexerGetStatus&index=41&IndexAction=restart

Example

http://Hume:9071/DREFLUSHANDPAUSE?
