# RelativeStartDate

The start time of the time period that you want to retrieve data for (relative to the time when the synchronize task starts).

If you run a synchronize task and the connector has already retrieved data from part of the time period, it automatically adjusts the start date so that it does not retrieve data it has already retrieved.

TIP:

On subsequent synchronize cycles, the connector does not send ingest-remove commands for entries that fall outside the time period. This means that data older than the relative start time is not removed from your IDOL Server index. If you want to remove older data from IDOL, Micro Focus recommends that you configure IDOL Server to expire documents.

Type: | Time duration The value of this parameter is a time duration. Specify the duration in the following format:
         1years 2months 3weeks 4days 5hours 6minutes 7.8seconds
You can omit any of the individual durations when they are not required:
         6minutes 7seconds
You can also shorten the string by abbreviating the units to their first letter (months abbreviates to m, minutes to n):
         6n 7s
If you want to specify the value in seconds, no units are required:
         60
The following are all equivalent:
         1minute 3seconds
         1n 3s
         63s
         63
Default: |
Required: | You must set either StartDate and EndDate, or RelativeStartDate and RelativeEndDate
Allowed range: | The value of this parameter must be less than the value specified by RelativeEndDate, and must be negative.
Configuration Section: | TaskName or FetchTasks or Default
Example: | The following example configures the connector to retrieve data related to a time period that started 10 days before the start of the synchronize task: `RelativeStartDate=-10 days`
