DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Stopping the DB2 Text Search instance service

When you stop the DB2® Text Search instance services, the text search server closes all commands that are currently active.

About this task

The active commands are closed as follows:
  • creating the collection for the text search index is completed, implying that a CREATE INDEX FOR TEXT operation could fail in a multi-partition setup, as a text search index is partitioned into multiple collections.
  • if drop collection already started to remove files irreversibly, the drop is completed, otherwise the command is rolled back
  • processes the current documents in the queue. Does not accept other documents. An initial update is marked as attempted and restart, an incremental update repeats processing all entries in the staging table.
  • if you update the index with the updateautocommit option, the documents that are already submitted when the text search server closes are implicitly committed and are processed. The rest of the documents are not processed. For example, consider that the text server is shut down unintentionally. As it shuts down, there are 1000 documents to be indexed and the update index command was issued with the updateautocommit option set to 100. If you check the number of documents that are indexed with the adminTool, you will see an arbitrary value (not multiple of 100) as NumOfDocuments indexed. In other words, a partial commit occurs during shutdown.
New commands are not accepted while the text search server completes the stop processing.
