1.3.1 Remote Administration Tasks

The Content Indexing Services Protocol enables the following indexing service catalog management tasks from a client:

  • Query the current state of an indexing service catalog on the server.

  • Update the state of an indexing service catalog.

  • Launch the indexing process for a particular set of files.

  • Initiate optimization of an index to improve query performance.

All remote administration tasks follow a simple request/response model. No state is maintained on the client for any administration call, and administrative calls can be made in any order.
