Presetting the Full Text Index Storage Location
When you install ProjectWise Design Integration Server with the option enabled, ProjectWise sets the default full text index storage location to C:\ProgramData\Bentley\pw-index-storage.
As you run text extractions, ProjectWise downloads copies of documents from the datasource and stores them in a temporary extraction folder on the ProjectWise Design Integration Server computer. For each document that gets processed, ProjectWise creates an intermediate file (*.DMSINDEX) which contains the text extracted from the document. These intermediate files get stored in a subfolder (one subfolder for each indexed datasource) under the main index storage folder. For example:
C:\ProgramData\Bentley\pw-index-storage\ed0bd9c2-bec8-4230-89f9-0852c75c7140\
0a4d8ed5-fbd7-4db2-943c-d22cb98efd69.dmsindex
0b4893b0-4a86-4d31-af30-1aac40b689f4.dmsindex
0bbb8aa2-49de-4819-99ab-251f69872dfd.dmsindex
0c3ea069-efb6-4d7b-bee6-7992a674afb7.dmsindex
0c25a091-bbe2-4f7d-a2c2-810873bd96f0.dmsindex
If you need the index storage to be located in a different folder or on a different drive, you can preset the index storage location using the steps below, and then install ProjectWise Design Integration Server.
- Open the Windows Registry Editor on the computer on which you are about to install ProjectWise Design Integration Server.
- Create the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bentley\ProjectWise\Automated File Processing
- Under that key, create a
string called
FtrIndexDataDir, and for its value enter the path to
the location where you want the index storage folder to be.
For example: D:\Bentley\pw-index-storage
- Close the Windows Registry
Editor.
The folder specified in the FtrIndexDataDir string will be created when the first extraction occurs.
