Enabling FTP Indexing

Siebel Search provides an FTP option for indexing. The FTP indexing method uses a type of feed. The feed is defined as the collection of documents in the data repository for the index operation. FTP indexing uses the following feed type:

• FTP indexing using directory feed. All feeds are placed in a directory, and this directory is the input to the connector. The directory feed location is configured in the file RSS_Crawler_Configuration.xml. Directory feed is useful when the data feeds are available in a single directory. The number of documents in each directory must be less than 10,000.
