Scheduling Index Updates

Menu option: Index > Index Manager > Schedule Updates

To update an index automatically:

1.   Click the Schedule Updates button in Index Manager.

2.   Click New Task to create a new index update task.  (You can also click Modify Task to change a pre-existing task or click Delete Task to remove a task.)

3.   Select the indexes to be updated from the list, and check the indexing actions to be scheduled.

4.   Click the Next >> button.  The indexing task will open in the Windows Task Scheduler.  Click the Schedule tab to set up the schedule for this task.

To access scheduled tasks directly, open Windows Task Scheduler (click Start and type "Task Scheduler").

For each task, Task Scheduler lists the "Last Result".  A value other than zero indicates an error.  If the error code is 8D (141), dtSearch does not have a folder set up for your personal settings.  To fix this, run the dtSearch Desktop search program and specify a location for your dtSearch files.  For more information, see Settings Files.  If the error code is 8F (143), the index could not be accessed, which may be because of a network or security issue or because the index is damaged or missing.
