By default, an import agent asks for all resource descriptions added
or changed since its last import from the same source.
The search query specifies that the import agent should request only
certain resource descriptions from the source. This is much the same way that
users request listings of resources from the search database.
Use Scope, View-Attributes and View-Hits fields to specify the query.
|
Scope
|
Blank for new
|
The text of the query. The query syntax is identical to that used for
end-user queries from the server.
|
View-Attributes
|
Blank for new
|
Lists which fields (not case sensitive) you want to import in each resource
description. For example, title and author. The default is all.
|
View-Hits
|
Blank for new
|
The maximum number of matching resource descriptions to import. If no
hits are specified, it defaults to 20.
|
Network Timeout in seconds
|
Blank for new
|
Specifies the number of seconds the import agent will allow before timing
out the connection over the network. You can adjust this to allow for varying
network traffic and quality.
|
Title
|
Blank for new
|
Title of the import agent.
|
Remote Database
|
Blank
|
Name of the database on the remote server.
