Step 3: Add a new JIVE Content Source
Add new source
To specify exactly what JIVE community to crawl, we will need to create a new "Content Source".
To create a new content source:
- From the Aspire 2 Home page, click on "Add Source" button.
- Click on "Jive Connector".
General Configuration Tab
In the "General" tab in the Add New Content Source window, specify basic information for the content source:
- Enter a content source name in the "Name" field.
This is any useful name which you decide is a good name for the source. It will be displayed in the content source page, in error messages, etc.
- Click on the "Active?" checkbox to add a checkmark.
Unchecking the "Active?" option allows you to configure content sources but not have them enabled. This is useful if the folder will be under maintenance and no crawls are wanted during that period of time.
- Click on the "Schedule" drop-down list and select one of the following: Manually, Periodically, Daily, or Weekly.
Aspire can automatically schedule content sources to be crawled on a set schedule, such as once a day, several times a week, or periodically (every N minutes or hours). For the purposes of this tutorial, you may want to select Manually and then set up a regular crawling schedule later.
- After selecting a Schedule type, specify the details, if applicable:
- Manually: No additional options.
- Periodically: Specify the "Run every:" options by entering the number of "hours" and "minutes."
- Daily: Specify the "Start time:" by clicking on the hours and minutes drop-down lists and selecting options.
- Weekly: Specify the "Start time:" by clicking on the hours and minutes drop-down lists and selecting options, then clicking on the day checkboxes to specify days of the week to run the crawl.
- Advance: Enter a custom CRON Expression (e.g. 0 0 0 ? * *)
Connector Configuration Tab
In the "Connector" tab, specify the connection information to crawl the JIVE folder.
- Enter the community url you want to crawl.
- Enter the username of the user with Full Control.
- Enter the password of the user.
- Check on the other options as needed:
- Fetch Security?: it will extract the access control information (ACLs) for the documents. You need to the Jive Security Mapper Plug-in installed in you community for this.
- Index Containers?: index containers (people, spaces, groups, ) as items. If unchecked, only files will be indexed.
- Include/Exclude patterns: Enter regex patterns to include or exclude files/folders based on URL matches.
Workflow Configuration Tab
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.
- For the purpose of this tutorial, drag and drop the Publish To File rule found under the Publishers tab to the onPublish Workflow tree.
- Specify a Name and Description for the Publisher.
- Click Add.
After completing this steps click on the Save button and you'll be sent back to the Home Page.
