Enabling Incremental Indexing

Incremental indexing is used to schedule automatic refresh indexing on all search objects. The index for all search objects (business components or search categories) is updated, at preconfigured intervals, with any create, update or delete operations which have been executed on the data source since the last index. The interval is configured at the level of each business component, and a different interval can be configured for each business component. For example, a Service Request business component index could be scheduled to update every five minutes, and an Account business component index could be scheduled to update every ten minutes. Incremental indexing is supported for business components, and is not supported for the file system connector.

NOTE:  Incremental indexing is supported only on thin clients.

To enable incremental indexing for preconfigured search objects, see Activating Search Run-Time Events.

To enable incremental indexing for custom search objects, see Activating Search Run-Time Events and Creating Search Run-Time Events for Custom Search Objects.
