Changing the scheduled Lucene back up time

This section describes how to set the time that the scheduled backup of the Lucene indexes occurs.

  1. Copy the following file:

    <configRoot>/classes/alfresco/scheduled-jobs-context.xml

  2. Locate the <extension> directory, and paste the copied file into this location.
  3. Rename the file to custom-scheduled-jobs-context.xml.

    As your override file ends with -context.xml, you do not need to point to your file.

  4. Delete each pair of <bean> </bean> tags (excluding the pair containing the indexBackupTrigger bean).

    This bean contains the following properties:

    <!-- trigger at 3am each day -->
            <property name="cronExpression">
                <value>0 0 3 * * ?</value>
            </property>

    The default is to run the job at 3am every day.

  5. Modify the cronExpression values, if required

    The value 0 0 3 * * ? specifies the backup is triggered at 3am every day.

    After each backup scheduled in the indexBackupTrigger bean, perform your normal backup of this directory.

    Note: Each backup will overwrite the existing backup.
