# PutIDOL

Indexes documents into your Content component text index.

## Properties

Name | Default Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
IDOL License Service |  | An IdolLicenseServiceImpl that provides a way to communicate with a Knowledge Discovery License Server.
IDOL Host |  | The host name or IP address of the machine hosting the Content component.
IDOL ACI Port |  | The Content component ACI port.
SSL Config Service |  | An optional IdolSSLConfigServiceImpl that specifies the settings to use to index documents over SSL/TLS. Set this property if your Content component has been configured to accept connections over SSL.
Document Registry Service |  | A DocumentRegistryServiceImpl controller service that manages and updates a document registry database. This ensures that documents are indexed in the correct order.
Indexer Batch Size | 100 | The maximum number of FlowFiles to accumulate before indexing documents. Indexing documents in larger batches can be more efficient; indexing smaller batches more frequently means that an individual document might spend less time in the queue. Documents might be indexed in incomplete batches if the Indexing Interval Duration is reached first.
Compress Index Files | False | A Boolean value that specifies whether to compress index files before they are sent to the Content component.
Create IDOL Database | False | A Boolean value that specifies whether to add the action parameter `CreateDatabase=TRUE` to index actions. This instructs Content to create databases that do not already exist.
Default IDOL Database Name |  | The name of the database to index a document into when the `DREDBNAME` field is not set. `DREDBNAME` is a document field that specifies the name of the database to index a document into.
GSSAPI Service Name |  | The GSSAPI service name for the Content component (used in Kerberos authentication environments only).
Indexing Interval Duration | 5 min | The maximum amount of time to wait between indexing batches of documents. Documents might be indexed more frequently than this if the Indexer Batch Size is reached first. Waiting longer and indexing documents in larger batches can be more efficient; indexing smaller batches more frequently means that an individual document might spend less time in the queue.
Index Over Socket | True | A Boolean value that specifies whether data is sent over a network or is indexed locally. Use the value true when the Content component is installed on a different computer and documents must be indexed over a network. Use the value false when the Content component is installed on the same host as NiFi and documents are indexed locally. In this case, the processor uses a `DREADD` index action. File-based indexing using `DREADD` is quicker, but the documents must be on the same machine, or on a network share that Content has permission to access.
Index Priority | -1 | The priority to use in index actions. Specify an integer from 0 to 100, where 0 is the lowest priority and 100 is the highest. The Content component processes index actions in order of priority. The default value (-1) means that no priority is specified in the index action.
Keep Existing Documents | False | The value to use for the `KeepExisting` action parameter in index actions sent to the Content component to add new documents. `KeepExisting` determines how to handle documents when a document sent for indexing matches a document already in the index. For information about how to set this parameter, refer to the Content Component Help.
Kill Duplicate Documents |  | The value to use for the `KillDuplicates` action parameter in index actions sent to the Content component to add new documents. If you do not set this property, the `KillDuplicates` action parameter is not set. `KillDuplicates` determines how to identify and handle duplicate documents. For information about how to set this parameter, refer to the Content Component Help.
Replace All References | False | The value to use for the `ReplaceAllRefs` action parameter in index actions sent to the Content component to replace existing documents. `ReplaceAllRefs` determines which documents are replaced when more than one matching document is found. For more information about this parameter, refer to the Content Component Help.
Use XML Indexing | False | Specifies whether to index documents in XML format. To preserve the tags and structure of XML content when it is indexed, set this property to true.
XML Document Tag | DOCUMENT | The name to use for the XML nodes that delimit documents in a batch of documents to be indexed. You can change the name of this node if you have configured custom document separators in your Content component. This property is used only when Use XML Indexing is true.
XML Root Tag | DOCUMENTS | The name to use for the root XML node in a batch of documents to be indexed. You can change the name of the root node if you have configured a custom node name in your Content component. This property is used only when Use XML Indexing is true.
IDX - Use XML Safe Field Values | false | Some control characters cannot be represented in XML format because they are forbidden by the XML specification. When you set this parameter to `TRUE`, characters in document fields that are forbidden in XML are replaced with spaces. This parameter applies only when you index documents in IDX format. When you index documents in XML format, the forbidden characters are always replaced by spaces.

## Relationships

Name | Description
--- | ---
success | FlowFiles that were indexed successfully.
failure | FlowFiles that failed to be indexed (the Content component returned an error).
