Modifying Hidden Jive 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 Jive 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 Jive 6 sources. The parameter type (Integer, String, Boolean) appears between parentheses following the parameter name.

IgnoreItemsOfTypes (String)

Semi-colon separated list of Jive item types to ignore while indexing. Possible values are: Announcement, Attachment, Checkpoint, Comment, Discussion, Dm, Document, File, Group, Idea, Message, Poll, Project, Space, SystemBlog, Task, Update, Video.

StartingSpaceUrl (String)

The URL of the space at which the crawling should start. Only content within this space and its subspaces will be available in the index. This does not affect social groups and people.

AdditionalHeaders (String) CES 7.0.5425+ (May 2013)

List of headers that should be added to the web requests made by the connector in the following format: key1\=value1\;key2\=value2

Example: If you need to add a Web service authentication header with a key "User" and a value "CrawlingUser" you can enter the following string in this parameter: user\=CrawlingUser

IgnoreItemsOlderThan (String) CES 7.0.8225+ (March 2016)

Specifies the modified date from which older items are not indexed. The date string must be in a format recognized by the Microsoft .NET Framework (see Standard Date and Time Format Strings). By default there are no dates and all items are indexed.

RequestTimeout (Integer) CES 7.0.8996+ (June 2017)

The maximum amount of time (in seconds) a request can be executed before being canceled. The default and optimal value is 100.

BatchSize (Integer) CES 7.0.8996+ (June 2017)

The number of items to retrieve with each call to Jive server. The default and optimal value is 25 items.
