Understanding system tasks

System tasks take care of scheduling tasks not related to search sources. There are far fewer system tasks than search data source tasks.

Only administrators with accounts that include the PRIV_TASK_MANAGE privilege can access, schedule, and launch tasks.

You can execute these system tasks:

System Task

Description

SUGGEST_TERM_JOB

Updates the search suggestions list, if search suggestions are enabled for search profiles. You can schedule how frequently SirsiDynix Enterprise runs this process. Because of the amount of memory needed for this task, SirsiDynix suggests that you schedule it to run after midnight and not concurrent with any of the ILS tasks. (For more information about search suggestions, see Managing search suggestions.)

SD_CONTENT_EXTRACTOR

Harvests content from the rooms in your system, including any SirsiDynix authored content. After SirsiDynix Enterprise runs this task, it then runs the SD_CONTENT_IMPORT and SD_CONTENT_INDEX processes in succession. You can schedule how frequently SirsiDynix Enterprise runs this process, however, it may be most effective to run the SD_CONTENT_EXTRACTOR as needed. (For more information, see Creating and editing room content.)
