You can use CAS Console, the CAS Server Command-line Utility, and
CAS Server API to create and configure any number of crawls in your
application. If you use CAS Console, note that a
crawl is equivalent to a
data source in the CAS Console user interface.
For each crawl, you specify configuration options such as:
The name of the configured
crawl.
The location of the source
data for crawl. For example, this could be a seed for a file system crawl, or a
CMS repository for a CMS crawl, or a database for a JDBC crawl.
Filters that include or
exclude designated files and folders.
Repository properties for
CMS data sources.
Manipulators to modify
Endeca records as part of the crawl.
