In the "Workflow"
the StageR.
Server
The host and port of the server the STageR is running on
The STageR's default port is 3000
Use https
Check this box if your STageR requires an https connection
Storage Unit
The name of the STageR storage unit you wish to crawl
Scope
The scope with in the STageR's storage unit you wish to crawl
Page size
The number of transactions to retrieve from the STageR in a single call
If required, you can also configure the connection to the STageR. Check the configure connection check box to allow you to configure:
Connection timeout
Period to attempt to connect to the STageR for before timing out
Read timeout
Period to attempt to read from the STageR for before timing out
Retries
The number of retries that will be attempted when a connection or read timeout occurs before the STageR reports an error
Retry delay
The period to wait after a failure before retrying the operation
Retry policy
Fixed
The same delay will apply on each retry
Increasing
The delay will be the attempt number multiplied by a fixed value
eg for a value of 2, the delay would be 2, 4, 6, 8 etc
A maximum delay can be specified
Cumulative
The delay will be increased by a multiple on each attempt
eg for a delay of 3 and a multiplier of 2, the delay would be 3, 3x2, 3x2x2, 3x2x2x2 (3, 6, 12, 24) etc
