Planning, launch and control the process metadata harvesting

[Blazz]

Hi all,

There is a need to make a plug-in which I can control the process of metadata harvesting. For example, I want to update the metadata from the selected sources with a certain interval of time, and that all this is done automatically, without me, well, and also had the opportunity to enable / disable this process.
Sorry for my bad English

Thanks in advance,
Ilya

Hi Ilya,

The most common way to do this is to set up a server-side task, like a CRON job, to use the tools/harvest.php script. For example, to update all records that have been added since the last harvest, you would invoke "tools/harvest.php all from=last".

Hi, Alec

Thanks for more information, but i'm newby and need help. So I need to specify in the Task Scheduler in Windows Server 2008 to make this script?

Hi Blazz,

Correct. I'm not particularly familiar with Windows server administration, but there are some instructions for another application at http://manual.b2evolution.net/Set_up_a_Windows_Scheduled_Task that might be helpful as guidelines.
