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, click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > 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.
