The Locator Server can impact business systems in three distinct ways:

Initial Indexing

During initial indexing, all data content is discovered, fetched, and indexed for the first time. The Locator server will experience very high CPU utilization during the initial indexing period. Users may experience degraded network performance when accessing the source files while Locator is indexing, as network traffic will be higher than normal.
