ShutDown Method

The ShutDown method of the ISearchProtocol interface is called by the Filter Daemon to allow the protocol handler an opportunity to clean up and release any associated resources.

Parameters

None.

Return Value

For a list of error messages returned by Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 protocol handlers, see Protocol Handler Error Messages.

Remarks

The Filter Daemon calls the Shutdown method before it exits. After the Shutdown method is called, this instance is not used again. However, it is also possible for the Filter Daemon process to terminate abruptly without calling this method. Protocol handlers that persist data such as registry entries and temporary files should include functionality in the Init method to verify that those resources have been cleaned up before initialization.

Requirements

Platforms: Microsoft Windows Server 2003
