Disabling File Content Indexing

For production or testing purposes, it may be helpful to disable file content indexing.

When you disable file content indexing, only the business object is indexed. You can choose to disable all file content indexing or to remove only specific entries using their tag.

  1. Stop the CloudView server.
  2. Define the content you want to disable:
    • For .DOC, .PPT, .PDF, remove the following entries from the config.xml file: FORMAT, STORE, and EXTENSION.
    • For OCTREE, thumbnail, XCV extensions, set the dedicated tag to false (for example, <OCTREE active="false"/>).
    • To turn all off, set the FILEINDEXING tag to false: <FILEINDEXING active="false" />.
  3. Reset the path to the modified config.xml file in MQL: 

    set context user creator;
set system searchindex file CONFIGFILE_PATH_AND_NAME force;

    Where CONFIGFILE_PATH_AND_NAME is the path and file name of the config.xml file to use for the indexing process.

  4. Restart the CloudView server.
