Important: 

 Once the file index rebuild process begins, you cannot interrupt it.

you cannot stop the process once it begins and asking you to confirm the

command. Click Yes to proceed. A progress dialog appears, describing each

step of the procedure. When the utility finishes, the Cancel button on the

progress dialog changes to Close.

4. To exit the dialog, click Close. An exception report appears, documenting the

progress of the Rebuild File Indexes utility. If the utility encountered any

problems during the process, it records them here along with any suggested

solutions. Depending on the problem, the exception report may direct you to

run a Maintenance or Advanced utility to correct it or to contact Follett

Software Company's Technical Support department.

the Utilities exception report" on page 603.

About the Advanced utilities

The Advanced utilities are designed to correct major problems in the library

database. Due to the nature of these utilities, we strongly recommend that you do

not run the Advanced utilities unless directed to do so by Follett Software

Company's Technical Support department or by an exception report generated

by another utility.

Important: 

 Utilities requires exclusive access to the library database. For more

information, see Starting Utilities" on page 592.

Note: 

 Before running any other utility, we recommend that you run the Check

Database Integrity utility (see page 594). This Maintenance utility examines

the library database for problems. If it encounters any, it records them in an

exception report along with any suggested solutions.

The following table briefly describes each Advanced utility:
