Introducing Content Sources

The content sources in Aspire are the units that you can install in order to retrieve and process content from a repository. A content source consists of two main parts:

• The Connector

• - The connector is the responsible of scanning and fetching the content and metadata from the repository. We provide a large list of connector which you can acquire and install along with your content sources.
• The Workflow

• - The workflow is the configurable processing part

• that consists of plans, rules and applications.

Each content source can be configured to execute actions in a scheduled manner

. For example, you can specify a content source to start

crawling every day at 6 pm

and pause every day at 7 am.
