    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    Search administrators can manually cancel external content connector crawls that are in the running state. When you cancel an external content connector's crawl, the connector stops retrieving documents or access permissions and feeding them to AI Search for indexing.

    Prozedur

    1. Navigate to All > External Content Connectors > External Content Admin Home.
    2. In the Connectors list, select the record for the external content connector whose crawl you want to cancel.
    3. In the connector editor, select the Crawl history tab.
    4. Select the crawl history record for the currently running crawl.
      The running crawl has state In progress.
    5. Select Cancel, then select Yes, cancel in the Cancel crawl dialog box.
      Hinweis:
      Canceling a crawl may take a minute or two. During this time, the connector may continue to retrieve searchable content and security principals and feed them to AI Search.
