NewsGator Suggest Ahead Builder Job

Module

Core

First release

v4.0

Function

Does calculations on up to one year's worth of answered questions and one month's worth of unanswered questions and public microblogs. The results of these calculations are used for comparisons that help match posts being typed by the user to potential similar posts, so that the existing posts may be displayed to the user as being possibly similar.

Consequences of stopping

No new questions and microblogs are ever suggested to users as they enter their post (only old ones from before the job was shut off will be suggested). Because older ones stop being suggested when they age past one year / one month, if left off for more than a year, no suggestions appears at all.

Data per cycle

Oldest 500 unanswered questions from the last year (and unanswered questions and public microblogs from the last month) that have not previously been processed by this job.

Default interval

Hourly (any time of the hour)

Minimum Recommended interval

15 minutes

Maximum Recommended interval

90 minutes

Usage notes

Using a longer interval means it won't capture new posts as quickly. Use a shorter interval to have posts appear as suggestions sooner.
