How to Crawl a Catalog Automatically

ID: Q229621

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

To automatically trigger the crawl of a catalog, use the DirMon tool from the Site Server SDK 1.1 sample.

DirMon demonstrates how you can use the IGatherNotify interface to manage a notification-based catalog, and how to monitor a directory for file changes and notify the gatherer service (the process that collects documents to index) of these changes. Site Server Search then determines whether it should index these files as part of a defined catalog, which is then built and propagated periodically, so it can be searched.
