Address Space Crawling

Address space crawling is the process of replicating foreign namespaces from one or more remote UA servers. Crawling is configured and initiated by right-clicking on a Orchestrator in the Solution Explorer in AMS, and choosing Address Space Crawling in the popup.

This will open the Crawling configuration view:

The current status of the Crawler is shown in the Crawler status field.

Start the Crawler manually by pressing the Start crawler button. An ongoing crawl can be stopped by pressing the Stop crawler button.

Each crawl will result in a model set. The number of sets is limited to the 'Crawler results store size' property of the Orchestrator. All Crawler model sets are visible in the Crawler model sets table:
