The
updateCrawls task updates one or more existing crawl
configurations with a new crawl configuration. The task does not create new
crawl configurations. It updates existing crawl configurations with changes.
The syntax for this task is:
cas-cmd updateCrawls -f CrawlConfig.xml [-h HostName] [-p PortNumber] [-l true|false]
Where:
-f(or--file) specifies the pathname of the input XML file containing the crawl configuration(s). Required.-h(or--host) specifies the host where the CAS Service is running. If the flag is omitted, the default is the value of thecom.endeca.itl.cas.server.hostproperty incommandline.properties. If the property is not set, the value then defaults tolocalhost. Optional.-p(or--port) specifies the port of the CAS Service. If the flag is omitted, the default is the value of thecom.endeca.itl.cas.server.portproperty incommandline.properties, inCAS\workspace\conf(on Windows) orCAS/workspace/conf(on UNIX). If the property is not set, the value then defaults to8500. Optional.-l(or--isPortSsl) specifies whether to communicate with the service using an HTTPS connection. A value oftrueuses HTTPS and treats thecom.endeca.itl.cas.server.portproperty as an SSL port. A value offalseuses HTTP and treatscom.endeca.itl.cas.server.portas a non-SSL port. Specifyfalseif you enabled redirects from a non-SSL port to an SSL port. Optional.
