Modifying Hidden Google Sites Source Parameters

The Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool present the parameters with which you can configure the connector for most Google Sites setups. More advanced and more rarely used parameters are hidden. You can choose to make one or more of these parameters appear in the Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool so that you can change their default value. Consider changing values of hidden parameters when you encounter issues.

The following list describes the advanced hidden parameters available with Google Sites sources. The parameter type (integer, string, etc.) appears between parentheses following the parameter name.

ResultsPerPage (Integer)

Number of items to fetch per request made to Google Sites. The default value is 100. The minimum value is 1. A small value (not recommended) forces the connector to make small but frequent queries to Google Sites. A larger value (recommended) leads to larger and less frequent queries.

NumberOfRetries (Integer)

This parameter determines the number retries allowed when a recoverable call to Google Sites API fails. The default value is 2.
