Distributed Index Handler 23.4

# DREFLUSHANDPAUSE

Prepares IDOL Server for a snapshot (hot backup). IDOL Server 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 IDOL 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 IDOL Server 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
