Creating a Batch Job for Rebuilding Asset Calendar Index

The asset calendar becomes available from Civic Platform 7.3 FP1. For the calendar to display asset events that occurred before you upgrades Civic Platform to 7.3 FP1, you must build indexes for asset events on the index server.

Before you create a batch job for rebuilding asset calendar index, you must configure the Standard Choice ASSET_CALENDAR_BUILD_INDEX_DURATION. This Standard Choice defines the start date and end date of a duration. The batch job only builds indexes for the asset events whose event time (for example, event schedule time) falls in the duration. For more information about the Standard Choice, refer to the Accela Civic Platform Configuration Reference.
