Launch Aspire (if it's not already running).
For details on using the Aspire Content Source Management page, refer to Admin UI
To specify exactly what shared folder to crawl, we will need to create a new "Content Source".
To create a new content source:
In the "General" tab in the Content Source Configuration window, specify basic information for the content source:
After selecting a Scheduled, specify the details, if applicable:
In the "Connector" tab, specify the connection information to crawl the Database Server.
In the "Workflow" tab, specify the workflow steps for the jobs that come out of the crawl. Drag and drop rules to determine which steps should an item follow after being crawled. This rules could be where to publish the document or transformations needed on the data before sending it to a search engine. See Workflow for more information.
After completing this steps click on the Save then Done and you'll be sent back to the Home Page.
The status will show RUNNING while the crawl is going, and CRAWLED when it is finished.
If there are errors, you will get a clickable "Error" flag that will take you to a detailed error message page.
The exclude and include can be used to filter the crawled databases and tables. It has the following structure:
{ "database" : [ { "name" : "dbtest1", "pattern" : false },{ "name" : ".*2", "pattern" : true } ], "table" : [ { "name" : "test1", "database" : "dbtest1", "pattern" : false }, { "name" : ".*3", "pattern" : true }, { "name" : ".*4", "database" : "dbtest2", "pattern" : true } ] }
