Configure Instant Search Indexing Schedule

Overview:
This article will show you how to change the schedule for the Instant Search scanner. The default scan interval is once every 7 days. It's worth noting that when you start scanning a new map service from the Instant Search tab, that scanning job will start immediately. Once the initial index has been created, you can set the re-scanning schedule with these instructions.  

Solution:

1. Edit the role.config file located here:  C:\Program Files\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Core\NSRoot\Geocortex\Core\Roles\InstantSearch\ScannerManager\3.X.X.XXXX\role.config

2. Look for the examples that are commented out:

<!--<StartupSetting Key="IndexSchedule" Value="{'Interval':'Daily', 'Hour':12, 'Minute':0}" />-->
<!--<StartupSetting Key="IndexSchedule" Value="{'Interval':'Weekly', 'DayOfWeek':'Sunday', 'Hour':12, 'Minute':0}" />-->
<!--<StartupSetting Key="IndexSchedule" Value="{'Interval':'Monthly', 'DayOfMonth':28, 'Hour':12, 'Minute':0}" />-->

3. You can either un-comment the one that you want to use (by removing the '<!--' from the start of the line, and the '-->' from the end of the line), or copy and paste one of the elements on a new line.  For example:

<StartupSetting Key="IndexSchedule" Value="{'Interval':'Daily', 'Hour':12, 'Minute':0}" />

4. This example causes the indexer to run once per day at noon, local time.

5. Save and close the file.  The role will restart automatically.
6. Go to the Instant Search tab for the service and click the play button to manually start a scan and apply the changes to the schedule. You do not need to wait for the scan to complete.
