Crawler Parameters and ScheduleLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Crawler parameters define the behavior of a crawler. Crawlers help to update indexes.

A schedule defines one or more time intervals at which the crawler is started.

Features

You can select crawler parameters and schedules in the following places in index administration.

  • Properties screen

    You can define default entries for crawler parameters and schedules in this screen. These default entries are valid for all data sources for which you make no other settings.

  • Data Sources screen

    You can select crawler parameters for individual data sources and define schedules in this screen. The settings for an individual data source override default entries.

You can set the crawler parameters and schedule independently of each other. For example, you can override the default entry for the crawler parameters in a data source but still use the default entry for the schedule.
