Presetting the Full Text Index Storage Location
When you install ProjectWise 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 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 Integration Server.
- Open the Windows Registry Editor on the computer on which you are about to install ProjectWise Integration Server.
- Create the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bentley\ProjectWise\Automated File Processing
- Under that key, create the
following strings with these values:
String Value FtrIndexCatalogDir The path to the folder in which you want the text index catalog to be created and maintained. For example: D:\ProjectWise-Full-Text-Index-Storage
FtrIndexDataDir The path to the location where you want the index storage folder to be. For example: D:\Bentley\pw-index-storage
ExtractionTempDir The path to the folder in which you want ProjectWise to temporarily store the files downloaded for extraction. For example: D:\ProjectWise-Extraction-Temp-Directory
- Close the Windows Registry
Editor.
The folders specified in the FtrIndexCatalogDir and FtrIndexDataDir strings will be created automatically when you install ProjectWise Integration Server. The folder specified in the ExtractionTempDir string will be created when the first extraction occurs.
