Xplore 1.0 Fulltext Indexing based on folder path

Hi All,

Please suggest me on how to do fulltext indexing based on folder path.

Requirement: Need to do fulltext indexing only on limited objects based on the folder path.

We have unregistered the events for indexing dm_sysobjects and registered events only for our custom object types (ex: Type A, Type . Now our requirement is to do the normal metadata indexing on all our custom objects but full text indexing must be performed only the custom objects which are under certain folder.

Ex:

Custom Object Types: Type A, Type B.

Unregistered dm_sysobject using below commands.

unregister,c,YOUR_DM_SYSOBJECT_ID,dm_save,dm_fulltext_index_user unregister,c,YOUR_DM_SYSOBJECT_ID,dm_destroy,dm_fulltext_index_user unregister,c,YOUR_DM_SYSOBJECT_ID,dm_checkin,dm_fulltext_index_user unregister,c,YOUR_DM_SYSOBJECT_ID,dm_readonlysave,dm_fulltext_index_user unregister,c,YOUR_DM_SYSOBJECT_ID,dm_move_content,dm_fulltext_index_user

and Registered events only for Type A as below

register,c,YOUR_CUSTOM_TYPE_ID,dm_save,,F, register,c,YOUR_CUSTOM_TYPE_ID,dm_readonlysave,,F, register,c,YOUR_CUSTOM_TYPE_ID,dm_destroy,,F, register,c,YOUR_CUSTOM_TYPE_ID,dm_checkin,,F, register,c,YOUR_CUSTOM_TYPE_ID,dm_move_content,,F,

Metadata should be indexed for all of the custom objects of Type A, but fulltext indexing should be done only for the custom objects of Type A in the below folder path. /Cabinets/Folder A.

Note: Type A objects will can be created anywhere in the repository.

Please Suggest me on how to proceed.

Thanks in Advance.

You can implement a Custom content filter by implementing 'IDfCustomIndexFilter'. There is an example in the xPlore Admin and Dev Guide. In this filter, you should be able to limit indexing by location.

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for the reply,

So, if I implement this to do indexing only to a path in my repository for example "/Cabinet/FolderA" will the metadata for the objects outside Folder A will still get indexed.

Thanks in advance

CustomIndexFilter allows you to NOT index content/metadata based on your business logic. If you tell it not to index content, it will not index metadata.

Sorry Jhonny,

I am bit confused here. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Assumption: Implemented CustomIndexFilter to index the objects inside the path "/Cabinets/FolderA".

Now if a object is created outside Folder A it will Index only Metadata not the content. and if an object is created inside Folder A it will index Metadata and Content.

Correct me if I am wrong in the above assumption.

And to restrict only content/metadata from the DfCustomIndexFilterAction I can see only two options SKIP or INDEX. So I am not sure how to index only Metadata for the objects outside Folder A.

Thanks for your help..

Hi Johnny,

I think I found a solution for our requirment we are still working on it. In our TBO for the custom object type we will update the attribute "a_full_text" value based on the folder path. If the attribute is set to false then only metadata is indexed and if it is true then both metadata and content will be indexed. Got this information after carefully going throught the Xplore Administration Guide.

Thanks

Johnny.
