Hi,

In the last week, I had a few bad days with Sharepoint Incremental crawl. Would Like to share the problem and reason of the problem with you all.

We have a Sharepoint application, which contains a huge amount of data. The main functionality of the application is to search the data, with the help of the custom search page. The availability of data is very important and it’s a must that data added, updated should be available must be available within 2 minutes of update.

I have used windows scheduler a lot of time while working with Sharepoint. Most of the time this was used to run some console application (which would work in off peak time to do some data management). But few days back, I had a requirement where by I wanted to schedule a windows scheduler to make a call to the page. The page would internally do some work on the load event.

But windows scheduler would not take the URL or a shortcut to the URL as a way to be scheduled. It needs an application/ batch file etc to be scheduled. So I had to think of a different way to either schedule it in windows scheduler or some other way to schedule the task of calling the web page.

Hi,

Many a times comes a situation, where we have to make call/request to another page through http protocol. The requirement might come when you want to fetch data from another page through http protocol, or just make a request to start some process which gets started on the page request itself.
