# IndexAction

Type one of the following to control the indexing of an index job:

Option | Description
--- | ---
Pause | Pauses the current indexing job until you set `IndexAction` to `Restart`. You can pause only DREADD, DREADDDATA and DRECOMPACT index actions. If you pause an indexing job and then stop IDOL Content Component without cancelling the indexing job, the index action continues automatically when you restart IDOL Content Component.
Restart | Restarts the current indexing job (after it has been paused).
Cancel | Aborts the indexing job.This option does not stop index jobs that are already in progress, except for DREADD, DREADDDATA and DRECOMPACT index actions. NOTE: If you cancel a DRECOMPACT index action, the next DRECOMPACT index action that you send resumes whether the interrupted compaction stopped.
SetPriority | Changes the priority of an indexing job in the queue. This option does not affect the current job. To use this option, you must also set the Priority parameter.

For the `Pause` or `Restart` action, it is always the current index job that pauses or restarts. If you set `IndexAction` to `Cancel` or `SetPriority`, you can specify the index job to affect by using the Index parameter.
