Skipping indexing for an object

To prevent Content Platform Engine from indexing an object, mark the object as skipped. Any index request for a marked object terminates with the index failure code MARKED AS SKIPPED. Skipping indexing in this manner is useful when repeated attempts by Content Platform Engine to index the object fail. Because an index job remains in progress until all index requests for the job complete, a request that never completes blocks the job from completing.

About this task

To unmark an object as skipped, create an index job for that specific object. Such an index job unmarks the object prior to the attempt to index the object.

Procedure

To skip indexing for an object:

  1. Listing index requests.
  2. In the details pane, select the index request for the object.
  3. Click Skip Requests.
