Introduction

TFintro |
The TeamForge connector will crawl content from TeamForge repository server through its SOAP services. The connector will request and retrieve items related to TeamForge project, discussion, document, release, news, project page, planning folder, repositorie, task, tracker and wiki services.
Note that the TeamForge connector is not part of Aspire Community bundle, but may be purchased separately
Some of the features of the TeamForge connector include:
- Ability to perform either full or incremental crawling (so that only new/updated documents are indexed)
- Fetches access control lists (ACLs) for TeamForge item-level security (Security is based on TeamForge users, groups and roles)
- Fetches metadata for retrieved content
- Is search engine independent. The content retrieved can be published by Aspire to any search engine
- Runs from any server with access to the given TeamForge repository and conforms to the Hardware and Network Considerations for Aspire .
Future Development Plan
- Ability to control what content is requested from the repository during crawling.
Prerequisites
Supported Teamforge versions, user access requirements, other requirements

Why is does an incremental crawl last as long as a full crawl?
The TeamForge Connector performs incremental crawls based on snapshot files, which are meant to match the exact documents that have been indexed by the connector to the search engine. On an incremental crawl the connector fully crawls the TeamForge content the same way as a full crawl, but it only indexes the modified, new or deleted documents during that crawl.

This section is for advanced topics and information mostly for programmers who wish to work with the TeamForge App Bundle or the TeamForge scanner.
TeamForge Application Bundle
Detailed information on configuring the TeamForge App Bundle. Also includes a discussion of all of the metadata produced by the App Bundle, with an example.
TeamForge Scanner
Detailed information on the TeamForge java component which scans for TeamForge content. Only needed by programmers who might need to integrate the TeamForge scanner in novel ways not supported by the standard framework and routing table.
TeamForge Group Expansion
Detailed information on configuring the TeamForge group expansion component. This is bundled with the TeamForge connector, so this information on the component is only needed by programmers who might have custom TeamForge integration needs.
TeamForge Fecth Url
Detailed information on the TeamForge Fetch Url java component which opens an InputStream to the given URL which can be read by down-stream pipeline stages. Only needed by programmers who might need to integrate the TeamForge scanner in novel ways not supported by the standard framework and routing table.
TeamForge SOAP Services
Detailed information on supporting SOAP services, items and item fields.
