E-mail Notification - for a Index scheduler

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We have a scenario where we need to send the E-mail Notifications for the index being scheduled using Index Management. (system Administration - System Configuration - Index Administration) . On selecting a particular Index we schedule on specific time . Using Define schedule.

Is there my any means I can send in the notifications to the user regarding the status for the Index using Email Notifications?

Regards,

Ronniee.

Dear  Ronnie,

Currently there is no standard configuration available to meet your requirement.

You need to write a custom code to achive this but by considering way of subscription & permissions

that are required here its going to be quite complex.

Hi Ronniee,

You could consider subscribing to /etc/log/crawler.  After this is done every time a crawler log entry is generated a mail would be sent to you, or the person who subscribed to the folder.  You can find subscription details from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/6e/798e04b33b11d5993800508b6b8b11/content.htm.  The link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/3a/d60a00803111d5992f00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm provides details about the notifications available from the subscription service. Unfortunately, this will send a notice whenever an entry is generated it will not filter on index name. The crawler log is generated when the scheduled incremental update occurs.

The other option would be to inform the requestor of the scheduled time and provide a rough estimate of when the job will finish.  It is possible to check if a document is index via Details > View > Index information. 

Best regards,

Duncan
