View Full Version : Batch processing of indexing with different configurations

Would it be difficult to include a batch processing feature that would allow me to run for example 8 indexing runs, each requiring a different configuration (in my case different languages)? It could be an extension of the current scheduling function, but I would have no problem with just setting up a list and then push a Start button.

Currently, you can schedule your 8 different indexing sessions one after the other (although you have to make some guesses as to how long each session would take to avoid them overlapping each other - which is generally recommended, and required if you are using plugins).

A "batch job" which allows you to specify multiple configs/tasks one after the other with a single start time may indeed be helpful for such tasks. We will add this to our list of things to consider for V5.1 or V6.

Thanks Ray,

Seems to be an acceptable workaround, waiting for the "real thing". My indexing sessions take less than 10 minutes each, so this should work well.
