Configuring the search index location

Edit the wietmsd_prg.xml file, setting the value of the app.copy_index_colloction configitem to 1 to allow search to access the index for users without read/write permissions for the collections folder.

About this task

When a user performs a search, this setting creates a copy of the collection index in a temporary working directory, enabling the creation of a new search index. This temporary folder is deleted when LiveContent S1000D is restarted. Whenever a book is changed, restart the application to allow search functionality to access the new index.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to your collection directory
  2. Open wietmsd_prg.xml for editing.
  3. Locate the app.copy_index_colloction configitem and set its value to 1 as in the following example.
    <configitem name="app.copy_index_colloction">
      <Comments>possible value:1 - copy the collection to working dir, 0 or default - no copy</comments>
      <value>1</value>
    </configitem>
  4. Save and close wietmsd_prg.xml.

Results

When a user performs a search, a copy of the collection index is created in a temporary folder, allowing search to access the index even if the user does not have read/write permissions for the collections folder.
