The Index Manager : Windows Service
Full details can be found in the Windows Service section of the Help documentation
Index Directories
This setting is global to the entire machine, not just the current index directory. Specify all index directories that the service should work with, one per line.
Settings
There are two settings in the Windows Service screen that affect the service index timing;
- Rebuild frequency - Sets how many hours should pass since the last index operation before reindexing is performed.
- Start indexing hour - The hour of the day at which the first indexing operation will happen.
For example, to set the service to index;
- Every night at 1am; set Start indexing hour to 1, and set Rebuild frequency to 24
- Every other day at 6pm; set Start indexing hour to 18, and set Rebuild frequency to 48
- Every 6 hours starting at midnight; set Start indexing hour to 0, and set Rebuild frequency to 6
By default the Windows Service will optimize the index once it has completed importing the sources to maintain performance. To deactivate automatic optimization uncheck 'Service Will Optimize Index'.
Note
The Windows Service will not be able to import documents while the Index Manager Tool is open on the same index directory at the same time. Please ensure the Index Manager Tool is not open at the time of the next indexing operation.
