Modifying System Schedules

System schedules perform maintenance tasks on a regular interval to keep the index in an optimal state. Each task has its own schedule. You should plan your CES system schedules and consider synchronizing some of them with other processes (see What Should Be the Frequency of System Schedules?).

To modify a system schedule

1. On the Coveo server, access the Administration Tool (see Opening the Administration Tool).

2. Select Configuration > Schedules.

3. In the navigation panel on the left, click System.

4. In the System page, under System Schedules, you can configure the schedule for the following actions:

   • Set the index to the read-only mode

   • Set the off-peak period

   • Suspend indexing

   • Update document rating

   • Update the security cache

   

   • To activate/deactivate a system schedule, click [Enable]/[Disable] on the right on the corresponding line.

     OR

   • To modify a system schedule:

     1. Click the system schedule that you want to modify.

     2. In the corresponding Schedule page, system schedules have different sets of parameters to allow you to set the moment and interval at which actions are taken:

        Example: The configuration for the Update Document Rating schedule.

        

        1. Next to Schedule, select the Enabled check box.

        2. Set the available parameters to configure the schedule as you wish.

           Note: Avoid setting a schedule to start from 2:00 and 2:59 AM to prevent Daylight Saving Time (DST) issues (see Schedules and Daylight Saving Time).

        3. Click Apply Changes.
