Creating index files in a different directory from the default


By default, index files are stored in <ARSystemInstallDir>\ftsconfiguration\collection.

To create index files in a different directory

  1. Update the FTS Collection Directory field on the FTS tab of the AR System Administration: Server Information form.
    See FTS-tab-configuration-options.
    Alternatively, you can update the Full-Text-Collection-Directory option of the AR System Administration: AR System Configuration Generic UI form. See Configuration-settings-E-M.
  2. Update the pluginsvr_config.xml file with the correct directory path.
    The pluginsvr_config.xml file is in <ARSystemInstallDir>pluginsvr\fts.
