You must create and configure an Indexer job if you plan to use live retrieval with your application. See Why Do I Need an Indexer Job?
Creating and configuring an Indexer job requires you to:
· Specify configuration settings for the four production tasks that run sequentially as part of the Indexer job: Scanner, Indexer, IXLoader, and AutoIndexVolAccept.
· Publish the DDF file created expressly for your Indexer job.
Review all the task and field configuration settings to determine which options to use in your application.
Each time you run an Indexer job, it looks for multiple data files in the input directory and processes them one at a time.
1. The Create New Job screen appears automatically after you create a new application. Otherwise double-click the application name on the Main Console, then click the Add New Job button. eaDirect displays the Create New Job screen.
