It sounds like you are adding incremental indexing to the publish action. Will you be able to add a delay between a page being published and the indexer starting? Does the user have to wait for the indexer during publishing, or does it run in the background? If someone publishes five pages, will the indexer be started five times? What if several people publish (hopefully different) documents at the same time? Scheduling the indexer as a background task with a delay solves all of these issues. Editors usually create or edit several pages in one session, publishing each page as they finish, and sometimes publish the same page multiple times as they check the live version and tweak it. Hopefully "incremental" indexing keeps the processing requirements low, but a delay between publishing and reindexing can only help. The indexer should be scheduled by the document publisher, and the scheduled start time moved later every time another document is published. The delay should be configurable; defaulting to 30 minutes should be acceptable. solprovider --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
