Use job files for DataFinder and Data Preprocessor instances to index or process specific files or folders. Targeted indexing or processing may be necessary if files already exist but are still incomplete. Incomplete files can cause incorrect data or lead automatic indexing or processing to ignore a file due to an error. Job files for DataFinder and Data Preprocessor instances have an almost identical structure. The following table describes the properties of job files.
Property | Description |
---|---|
File type | Text |
File extensions | |
Maximum number of lines | 100 |
Maximum file size | 100 Kb |
File encoding |
