trim.timespan

Background

This setting (with trim.timespan_unit) controls how the date range to gather will be split.

In order to speed up the crawl and improve reliability the crawler will split the date range to gather in smaller chunks. Smaller chunks means less records to select for each chunk, reducing the time spent in the initial query for each chunk, but generating more chunks.

The HP Records Manager / TRIM connection will be disconnected and reconnected again between each chunk to restart with a clean connection.

Setting the key

Set this configuration key in the search package or data source configuration.

Use the configuration key editor to add or edit the trim.timespan key, and set the value. This can be set to any valid Integer value.

Default value

The default is to select records by 3 month chunks:

trim.timespan=3
trim.timespan.unit=month

Examples

To select records by 1 year chunks

trim.timespan=1
trim.timespan.unit=year
