Thread: SM7.0 knowledge file crawl

Does anybody know if SM7.0 Knowledge Module can crawl to a Sharepoint document repository site

I never tried it, but it is said to work.

From the Service Manager help file (I have not tried this, myself):

Using web crawling on a Sharepoint site

Note: Add the knowledgebase before you define type information and field definitions. Also, you will need to know the proxy configuration of the site you intend to crawl.

1. Click Knowledge Management > Manage Knowledgebases.
2. Type a unique name for the new knowledgebase in the Knowledgebase name field (required).
3. Type a description for the knowledgebase (optional).
4. Select weblib in the Type field list.
5. Click Add.
6. On the Type information tab, provide the required information.
   Example: URL: http://pdosharepoint/default.aspx
   URL path depth: 2
   Max links to follow: 2
   Proxy Configuration: Type all required information in the text boxes.
7. Click Save.
8. On the Field Definitions tab, provide all the required information.
   Example:
   Field Type: MetaTag
   Field Name: GENERATOR
   Alias: Generator
   Data Type: text
   Hitlist: true
9. Click Save.
10. Use the Status tab to initialize and create an index for the Sharepoint site. You can also use the Refresh Status button to monitor the web crawling process.

Has web crawling worked for any of you.. after configuring the way explained above?

I tried configuring the same way for microsoft "Technet" site ... but it is not working?

If anyone of you has got this working please let me know how you did it..

Thank You,
