Abstract
A method, system and computer-readable medium for managing the building of indexes are presented. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of: initiating an index rebuilding process in a computer; detecting a “Power down” command for the computer; evaluating a progress level of the index rebuilding process; in response to the index rebuilding process exceeding a predetermined completion level, delaying the “Power down” command until the index rebuilding process is completed; and in response to the index rebuilding process being less than the predetermined completion level, aborting the index rebuilding process and executing the “Power down” command.
Claims14
A method for managing a rebuilding of indexes in a computer, the method comprising:
- initiating an index rebuilding process in a computer;
- detecting a “Power down” command for the computer;
- evaluating a progress level of the index rebuilding process;
- in response to the index rebuilding process exceeding a predetermined completion level, delaying the “Power down” command until the index rebuilding process is completed;
- and
- in response to the index rebuilding process being less than the predetermined completion level, aborting the index rebuilding process and executing the “Power down” command.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a data bus coupled to the processor;
- a memory coupled to the data bus;
- and
- a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
- initiating an index rebuilding process in a computer;
- detecting a “Power down” command for the computer;
- evaluating a progress level of the index rebuilding process;
- in response to the index rebuilding process exceeding a predetermined completion level, delaying the “Power down” command until the index rebuilding process is completed;
- and
- in response to the index rebuilding process being less than the predetermined completion level, aborting the index rebuilding process and executing the “Power down” command.
A computer-readable medium embodying computer program code for managing a rebuilding of indexes in a computer, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
- initiating an index rebuilding process in a computer;
- detecting a “Power down” command for the computer;
- evaluating a progress level of the index rebuilding process;
- in response to the index rebuilding process exceeding a predetermined completion level, delaying the “Power down” command until the index rebuilding process is completed;
- and
- in response to the index rebuilding process being less than the predetermined completion level, aborting the index rebuilding process and executing the “Power down” command.
