From the System page, you can select Scheduler to configure tasks that run at scheduled time intervals. Tasks can be added and edited, as necessary. Sybase Search displays all scheduled tasks in the Scheduled Tasks list. The Scheduled Tasks list shows when the task is scheduled to run, when it last ran, and how many times it has run.
You can set up the following Sybase Search task types:
Log Janitor – examines the current logs and deletes old log files. Optionally, it can compress inactive log files.
Deleted logs cannot be recovered. Log Janitor does not
decompress logs it has already compressed.
Document Store Runner – runs a full update on the document store at the configured interval.
Index Unifier – unifies the document store’s indexes at the configured interval. See “Unifying an index stripe”.
Web Robot Runner – re-crawls the Web sites specified in the Web robot at specified intervals. The Web robot runner does not use the Web robot force refresh option.

From the System page, select Scheduler. The Scheduled Tasks page appears.
