Installing the Coveo Plugin on Your Jive Server

The Jive connector comes with an optional Coveo plugin that you can install on your Jive server to allow the Jive connector to access Jive features that are not available through the regular Jive 6+ APIs.

Plugin Benefits

The Jive connector can work without the plugin, but using the plugin enables the following connector features:

• Indexing permissions

• Indexing direct messages

• Removing recently deleted Jive items from the index during an incremental refresh

  Note: CES 7.0.8691+ (December 2016) Removal of deleted Jive events.

• Proper incremental refresh of discussions

• Phrase substitutions
