Once the channel is deployed and started, verify that the destination directory you configured when creating the emitter exists and that it contains XML documents. These are the sequentially numbered files, for example, 00001.xml, 00002.xml, and so on.

If this directory does not exist or it is empty, check the parameters you entered while configuring the listener and the emitter. Use the following steps to update the channel:

1. Undeploy the channel (within Deployments).
2. Correct the listener or emitter (within Registry).
3. Build the channel (within Deployments).
4. Deploy the channel (within Deployments).

These files provide the structure of the data coming from our data source. This information is important and will be used in designing our indexing process flow.

Now that you have configured the search engine and a channel with a listener for the data source, continue to Creating the Indexing Process Flow to configure the process flow.
