Rebuild Indexes

Question

The way I understand this tool is I connect to a enterprise sde workspace and when I do, I see datasets where indexes may exist and then I can rebuild them all.

Currently, when I connect to sde, my Dataset box is blank.  Is that expected to be blank?

I think this is a fantastic tool, Russel.

On windows 7 with this tool, after I set the datasets to rebuild, I click OK, it does some processing (windows NOT GIS) and then refreshes with no change to the tool.  Second time, I click OK, the tool runs as expected.  It should run the first time.

This tool does what exactly, does it delete the index and then re add the index to do the rebuilding...

Logging in as dbo is the reason.  Logging in as Owner I can see the FDs and standalone features/tables.  There needs to be something in the doc when this tool is launched.

I currently see:
Input WorkspaceThe enterprise geodatabase that contains the data to be updated.

Perhaps something can be added that indicates the owner needs to be used, or an error needs to get triggered for the input box when another connection is used in place of owner, or even perhaps this is just a bug.
