Change the New Database Interval

You can change the interval at which new databases are created in the IDOL content database.

You can change this interval even if an indexing job is currently running. The change becomes effective at midnight.

To Change the New Database Interval

1. Edit the registry on the server hosting the IDOL connector framework and content database.
2. Go to the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ComputerAssociates\CA DataMinder
       \CurrentVersion\Content Services\IDOL Provider
   

3. Modify the NewDatabaseIntervalDays registry value.

   The default data is 7, meaning that IDOL starts a new database every 7 days. Enter a new interval.

   For example, set NewDatabaseIntervalDays to 30 if you only index a small amount of data each month.
