Jive Software is the leading provider of modern communication and collaboration solutions for business. It is recognized as a Leader in Social Software in the Workplace by Gartner in their Magic Quadrant.
The BA Insight Jive Connector was specifically developed for Jive, establishing a secure connection to the Jive application and mapping the content including metadata and attachments from the Jive schema to the search engine schema. It then extracts content and feeds it to the search engine in a process called crawling.
There are two main types of crawls:
- Full crawls, which extract all desired content
- Incremental crawls, which extract only content which has changed since the last crawl
