12.1.1 Notes Regarding Incremental Updates for File and WebDAV Connectors

Incremental updates are based on the last modification date of the files and the Web distributed authoring and versioning (WebDAV) resources being accessed. In principle, the files delivered from one update to the next are determined by scanning the source directory and identifying all the elements whose modification date is later than the previous update time. In some operating systems, when moving files from one location to another, the modification date of the files will not be updated and the moved resources will therefore retain the original modification time.

This behavior should be kept in mind when moving files into a directory used by OracleAS Syndication Services as a content source. In fact, if the original modification date of the moved files is earlier than the time of the last update, then those files will not be delivered in the next incremental update. The files can be pulled by a full update in this case.

A copy of the files in the directory will not present this issue as the modification date is set to current date by the copy command.
