DREADD

Allows you to index IDX or XML files located on a machine that IDOL can access directly into the IDOL Server. Parameters you use with DREADD override any equivalent settings in the IDOL Server configuration file.

You must specify the file to index either by adding the path to the file directly after the action name (see <IndexFile>), or by setting FileName.

NOTE: If your IDOL Server configuration file does not contain a field process to allow it to read the destination databases from a document field, you must also specify either DREDbName or DatabaseFields.

The IDX or XML file that you want to index must be either on the same machine as IDOL, or on a network share that IDOL has permission to access.

If you have set DelayedSync to true or you have set a high MaxSyncDelay in the configuration file, some time might elapse before a file is available for searching.

Example

http://12.3.4.56:9001/DREADD?Filename=C:\Documents\News\today.idx&DREDbName=News

This index action indexes a file called today.idx into the IDOL Server News database.
