When you install ProjectWise Design Integration Server with the Automated File Processing > Full Text Indexing 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

Use the steps below if you need to change the full text index storage location.

1. On the ProjectWise Design Integration Server computer where the full text index catalog and intermediate files are stored, stop the following services in the Services window:
   • ProjectWise Orchestration Framework Service
   • Windows Search (Windows Server 2012 or 2016) or Indexing Service (Windows Server 2008)

   The default index storage location is:

   C:\ProgramData\Bentley\pw-index-storage

   This location is set by the following registry string:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bentley\ProjectWise\Automated File Processing\FtrIndexDataDir

2. In Windows Explorer, create a new folder where you want to copy the contents of the index storage folder to.

   For example: D:\Bentley\pw-index-storage

3. In Windows Explorer, open the existing index storage folder, select the dms_catalogs.xml file and all of the subfolders (where the intermediate files are stored), then copy them to the new index storage folder you just created.
4. Open the Windows Registry Editor and go to:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bentley\ProjectWise\Automated File Processing

5. Under that key, modify the value of the FtrIndexDataDir string so that it points to the new index storage folder.

   For this example: D:\Bentley\pw-index-storage

6. Close the Registry Editor.
7. Restart the services in the Services window:
   • ProjectWise Orchestration Framework Service
   • Windows Search (Windows Server 2012 or 2016) or Indexing Service (Windows Server 2008)
