Configuring Incremental Indexing for Third-Party Search Engines

The following procedure shows you how to configure incremental indexing for third-party search engines. Initially a full index of the category (for example Account) is performed, followed subsequently by the incremental indexing.

This task is a step in Process of Configuring Siebel Search for Third-Party Search Engines.

Caution: When the Enable Incremental Indexing system preference is set to True, the Transaction Processor component (alias TxnProc) runs automatically. In this case, for Siebel Remote deployments, you must stop TxnProc before you run the Database Extract component (alias DbXtract) for the first time. After DbXtract has completed, then you can restart TxnProc. If you do not follow these steps, then some transactions might not be routed to remote clients. For more information about running DbXtract, see Siebel Remote and Replication Manager Administration Guide.
