Schedule indexing (only available with purchased version)

An additional web page has been added called a_remote.aspx which is used in conjunction with a VB.NET program (searchdbMan) and the Windows Scheduler.

The web page a_remote.aspx

This web page is intended to initiate indexing by calling it in the following way.

   http://servername/searchdb/admin/a_remote.aspx?action=index

If you enter the url into your browser, there will not be any indication that anything is happening until the crawl has finished, and then a blank page will appear. If you go into the admin pages and look at the log listing, you should see an entry showing that remote indexing has occurred.

searchdbman program

This provides the call to the a_remote.aspx page and should be installed on a PC connected to the internet. Or it could be installed on the web server itself.

The program runs from the command line with the web page appended on the end as an argument as follows :

   searchdbman.exe http://servername/searchdb/admin/a_remote.aspx?action=index

The Windows Scheduler

To run the program at required intervals, create a new task schedule with the searchdbman.exe as the program name and the web page appended as an argument.
