Documentum - Choose Crawl Options

Note: You must install Oracle WebCenter Content Service - – Documentum to access this functionality.

1. You can limit the number of folder levels into which this content crawler crawls into your file system to prevent your content crawler from importing unwanted content.

   To limit the depth of your crawl, in the Maximum crawl depth drop-down list, specify how you want to limit your content Crawler. For example, the maximum number of levels to crawl setting has the following effects:

   • If you select unlimited, the content crawler crawls the target cabinet and all its subfolders.
   • If you select 0, the content crawler crawls only the target cabinet.
   • If you select 1, the content crawler crawls the target cabinet and its first level of subfolders.




2. You can limit the scope of your crawl to include only documents that satisfy a DQL predicate you specify. This predicate is added to the DQL run by the content crawler to extract all documents.

   If necessary, in the DQL Predicate box, type the predicate, in DQL format as specified in the Documentum DQL Reference Manual. If you input an incorrect DQL predicate, the crawl fails without importing any documents. The following examples show valid predicates:

   • any r_version_label = 'APPROVED'
   • title is not null and subject like 'BEA%'

   The DQL predicate can include only attributes that are part of dm-document. Custom attributes created by subclassing dm-document cannot be used in the DQL predicate.
