Rebuild INDEXES

  • Hi All,

    I would like to apply REBUILD_REORGANIZE in my production server so I need the approval first . My manager asked me about should the DCS service will be turned off to prevent the communication between applications during the maintenance schedule as it could potentially cause issues ?

    the duration for 1 database takes around 1 until 4 mins in testing server ( 6 CPU ) and I will rebuild 1 database first in the production ( 12 CPU )

    pls advice about the DCS Service ..

    Thanks heaps

  • What's a DCS service?

  • I did a quick search online and couldn't identify what DCS Service is either.

    In general, yes, you can rebuild indexes while the system is in use. You will see some resource contention and blocking while the rebuild occurs. You'll have to determine the extensiveness of this on your system and whether it pushes you to disable your DCS Service (whatever that might be).

    For some extent as I know DCS Service is the one that helps to implement SQL Server based directory store. For more details visit here about DCS http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd632696.aspx
