SUMMARY
When you create a workspace, an Applications folder is created outside of the workspace folder hierarchy that you can use to house Web Storage System applications. In addition, a scheduled task is created by default to perform an incremental index update every half hour so that application data is indexed and searchable from the workspace portal.

When an index update is performed, two informational messages are logged in the Application log on the server:

Event Type: Information

Event Source: Microsoft Search

Event Category: Gatherer

Event ID: 3019

Description: The crawl has started. Context: SharePointPortalServer, workspace_name Catalog.

Event Type: Information

Event Source: Microsoft Search

Event Category: Gatherer

Event ID: 3047

Description: The end of the crawl has been detected.

In addition, you see four event messages every hour in the server logs, regardless of whether or not there is any data in the Applications folder.



MORE INFORMATION
If you do not use the Applications folder, you may want to disable the scheduled index update task to avoid filling up the Application log with these messages. To disable the task:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Scheduled Tasks, double-click the Workspace workspace_name Applications Notification task.
 * 3) Click to clear the Enabled (scheduled task runs at specified time) check box.

If you want to continue having the Applications folder indexed, but not at half-hour intervals, you can modify the schedule in the properties of the scheduled task so that the incremental updates occur less frequently.
