Creating Server Repeating Jobs for Incremental Indexing

This topic covers creating server repeating jobs to enable incremental indexing. Incremental indexing enables the index to automatically update, at preconfigured intervals, with create, update and delete operations that have been executed on the data source since the last index update. It provides a more efficient method of updating the index without the overhead of a full Refresh Index operation. Incremental indexing is supported for thin clients. Refresh indexing must be used on thick clients.

When importing a batch of data, it is recommended that incremental indexing is turned off and a one time Index All operation is performed. Incremental indexing is turned off by deactivating the Update Index action set on the Runtime Events Action Set view. For more information on server component repeating jobs, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

NOTE:  This task is required only for thin client deployments.
