Creating an Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Source for the Web Crawler Connector


This topic covers creation of an Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Web Crawler Data Source to integrate with the Siebel Search Web Crawler connector.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up the Web Crawler Source and Connector.

To create an Oracle Secure Enterprise Search source for the Web crawler connector

  1. Start the Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Administration application.
  2. Navigate to the Sources screen.
  3. Select Web from the Source Type list.
  4. Click Create.
  5. Complete the Web Source fields. The fields are described in the following table.
    Field
    Description

    Source Name

    The name for the Web Source. This value corresponds to the crawler connector Library name in the Siebel Search Administration Search Connector Settings view. Set the value to crawler. This value is case sensitive.

    Starting URL

    The URL for the crawler to begin crawling. The starting address can be in HTTP or HTTPS format, for example, http://www.oracle.com.

    Self Service

    Enable Self Service so that Web sources that require user authentication can be crawled and indexed. Enabling Self Service means that end users can enter their credentials and authenticate themselves to crawl their data.

    Start Crawling Immediately

    Select this to start crawling automatically after the source is created. Clear this for crawling to begin at the next scheduled time.

    NOTE:  If the Create and Customize button is clicked rather than the Create button, or if Self Service is enabled, then this option is ignored.

  6. Click Create.
