Configure the Index Task

The 'Index' task is used to retrieve the product information from the database to build or update the webshop index. General information about the 'Index' task can be found here.

The configuration of the 'Index' task is performed in the 'sanaCommerce' configuration section of the backoffice 'web.config' file:

Step 1: Open the backoffice 'web.config' file.

Step 2: Locate the 'sanaCommerce' configuration section.

Step 3: Locate the 'tasks' subsection:

<task name="IndexTask"
title="Product indexing task"
      type="Sana.Commerce.Tasks.IndexProductsTask, Sana.Commerce.Tasks.TaskScheduler"
      time="2:00am"
      enabled="false"
      batchSize="100"
      allowManualStart="true"
      sortNumber="3"/>  
</tasks>

Step 4: Check the following configuration parameters and modify them if needed:

Parameter Description
