Disabling automatic management of a Record Store instance

If you want maintain a Record Store instance separately from its associated crawl configuration, you can disable automatic management of the Record Store instance by the CAS Server and move a Record Store instance to another host as necessary. This may be useful if storage space for a Record Store instance is a concern and in some migration scenarios.

The isManaged property in a crawl configuration determines whether a Record Store instance is created or deleted at the same time as its associated data source configuration. The isManaged property has a value of true by default. This means that:

If you disable the isManaged property by setting it to false, a Record Store instance is not created when you create the crawl configuration. You must create the Record Store instance manually, or configure the crawl to send output to a file. Likewise, any Record Store instance that you create for a crawl configuration is not deleted when you delete the crawl configuration.

To disable automatic management of a Record Store instance:

  1. From a command prompt, run the getCrawl task of the CAS Server Command-line Utility. Use the -f <arg> flag to specify the name of the XML file to write the configuration to.

    For example, you might specify -f configuration.xml.

  2. In the configuration.xml file for the crawl configuration, set the isManaged property to false as shown in the following example: 

    ....
  <crawlConfig>
  ....
   <outputConfig>
    <moduleId>
      <id>Record Store</id>
    </moduleId>
    <moduleProperties>
     <moduleProperty>
      <key>isManaged</key>
      <value>false</value>
     </moduleProperty>
    </moduleProperties>
   </outputConfig>
....
  </crawlConfig>
....

  3. Save and close the crawl configuration file.

  4. Run the updateCrawls task of CAS Server Command-line Utility and pass in the crawl configuration file as input. For example: 

    updateCrawls --f configuration.xml
