7 Präferenzen

Hinweis:

Dieses Kapitel wurde nicht übersetzt, um die Eindeutigkeit der Beschreibung zu bewahren.

This chapter lists all the preferences that are pertinent to index server. Find a description of how to set, view, change or delete preferences, with the HELIOS utility programs “prefdump”, “prefvalue”, and “prefrestore”, in the HELIOS Base manual.

Wichtig:

Make sure that preference keys DO NOT start or end with a slash (“/”) character, and note that they are case-sensitive! Also, if any preference key or preference value includes spaces, that key or value must be enclosed in quotes.

7.1 Indexserver Präferenzen

The following key requires a service restart to take effect:

Key: Programs/indexsrv/<preference>

ExcludedAttributes
strlist
""

List of attributes that are not to be stored in the index database. For example, setting ExcludedAttributes to “kMDItemInstructions” would prevent the “instructions” from being indexed. Setting this preference applies only to new or changed files, it does not remove the attributes from the existing database.

RemoteAccess
bool
FALSE

If set to TRUE, access to the index server service port is enabled to remote users (subject to the restrictions specified in the IP access list).

TelnetPort
int
2031

Specifies the “telnet” port number.

FileDescriptorLimit
int
1024

Specifies the maximal number of open file descriptors.

The following keys require a service reconfiguration (srvutil reconf indexsrv) to take effect:

Key: Programs/indexsrv/<preference>

IndexDBSyncTime
int
60

Specifies the time in seconds before the index database is flushed.

IndexDBSyncCount
int
2048

Specifies the number of changes in the database before the database is flushed.

RunTime
int
120

This preference determines how long (in seconds) “indexsrv” plug-ins may run before a time-out occurs. Specifying 0 disables the running time (i.e. “run forever”).
Some slower plug-ins (“officeindexer”, “pdfindexer”) reset the timer as long as they are continuously processing data, so that the total running time can be longer than the value of this preference.

TermTime
int
30

This preference determines how long (in seconds) “indexsrv” waits before the indexing plug-in process is killed. This happens only if RunTime has timed out.

HoldTime
int
10

Specifies the time interval (in seconds) after the file event is received before indexing is started.

MaxProc
int
<see description>

This preference controls the maximum number of “indexsrv” processes that may run simultaneously. Default is the number of CPU cores.

Hinweis:

It is recommended that the value for MaxProc be less or equal to the number of CPU cores.

ipaccess
str
ipaccess

Specifies the file name of the IP access list that controls client access to the index server service port.

7.1.1 Volume Präferenzen

The following keys require a service reconfiguration (srvutil reconf indexsrv), and the volume to be mounted anew, to take effect:

Key: Volumes/<UNIX directory>/<preference>

Wichtig:

If the key contains a path, the “/” characters within the path must be escaped by preceding each with a “\​” character, e.g.:

# prefvalue -k 'Volumes/\/data1\/demovol/Index' -t bool TRUE
Index
bool
FALSE

Defines whether this volume supports a Spotlight index. This preference corresponds to the Spotlight Index checkbox in the HELIOS Admin Volume menu Spotlight tab.

IndexPDFText
bool
TRUE

This preferences allows switching off Spotlight indexing of text in PDF documents. This preference corresponds to the PDF Text Indexing checkbox in the HELIOS Admin Volume menu Spotlight tab.

IndexOfficeText
bool
TRUE

This preferences allows switching off Spotlight indexing of text in Office documents. This preference corresponds to the Office File Indexing checkbox in the HELIOS Admin Volume menu Spotlight tab.

AutomaticIndexing
bool
FALSE

Automatically tracks changes to files in the specified volume. This preference corresponds to the Automatic Indexing checkbox in the HELIOS Admin Volume menu Spotlight tab.

NonIndexDirectories
strlist
""

Excludes one or more specified directories of indexed volumes from indexing. This preference corresponds to the entries in the Omit Indexing for Directories field in the HELIOS Admin Volume menu Spotlight tab.

7.1.2 Plug-in Präferenzen

Key: Programs/indexsrv/Plugins/<plug-in name>/<preference>

Suffixes
strlist
(plug-in dependent)

Defines the file suffixes that are subject to index, e.g. “txt”, “c” or “h” for the txtindexer plug-in, and “jpg”, “jpeg” or “png” for the oiindexer plug-in.

For this preference all extensions (i.e. also the default values) must be specified in addition to the desired extensions. The default values are:

oiindexer: tif, tiff, jpg, jpeg, eps, epsf, sct, psd, psb, pct, pic, bmp, jb2, jbig2, jp2, jpf, jpx, png, raw, cr2, nef, arw, dng, orf, raf, pef, sr2, crw, x3f, erf, mef, rw2, xpv

txtindexer: txt, c, h

pdfindexer: pdf

mediaindexer: mp3, wma, wmv, m4p, m4a, aax, mov

annotationindexer: annotation

officeindexer: doc, docx, xls, pps, ppt, pptx, odt, ods, odp, rtf, pdf

zipindexer: zip

indesignindexer: indd, indt

Ftypes
strlist
""

Defines the file types that are subject to index. By default, the plug-ins use the file suffix rather than the file type.

If full-text is indexed, the amount of data that is stored in the database can be significant. So there are two additional preferences that can tune the behavior of the plug-in to the desired amount of data. These preferences are stored in:

Programs/indexsrv/Plugins/<Plugin-name>/<volumename>/<suffix>
/<ftype>

where <volumename>, <suffix> and <ftype> can be empty. So if you wish to enable FilterDuplicates for your plug-in by default, you can set
Programs/indexsrv/Plugins/​txtindexer////FilterDuplicates to TRUE.

FilterDuplicates
bool
FALSE

Determines whether duplicate words are stored for a specific file. Set this preference to TRUE if you wish to ignore the second, third, fourth, etc. instance of a word within a file when the database is indexed during a full-text search. This has the advantage that the database does not increase more than is necessary. The disadvantage is that searches for phrases will not succeed. Only searches for one or more separate words will return results, words with 1 or 2 letters are not indexed.

FilterDB
str
""

Determines the path (must be absolute!) to an SQLite full-text database that contains in the “sWords” column keywords that should not be stored. As an example, in an English text it is not useful to store words like “the”, “than”, “also”, “although”, etc.

The advantage of using this filter is that text elements, which have no specific value in searches, e.g. conjunctions or articles, can be prevented from being stored in the database so that it does not increase more than is necessary. The disadvantage is that searches for exact phrases containing these words will not succeed.

See 5.2 „Eine Wörterlisten-Datenbank anlegen“ for instructions on how to create and set up a word list database.

JavaOptions
strlist
"-Xmx<size>m"

Allows increasing the Java memory allocation, where <size> is the maximum Java heap size in megabytes. This may become necessary when indexing large documents.

TmpDir
str
"HELIOSDIR/var/tmp"

This preference is called with the following key:

Key: Programs/indexsrv/Plugins/officeindexer/TmpDir

The “officeindexer” plug-in creates for each job a separate directory (by default in “HELIOSDIR/var/tmp”), where all the temporary files are placed, and removes this directory when the indexing is done. This preference can be used to change the location of the temporary directory. The path must be specified with “/” as directory delimiter, even on Windows.

Example
 (Windows):
> prefvalue -k "Programs/indexsrv/Plugins/officeindexer
/TmpDir" -t str "/d:/tika-tmpdir"
Example
 (UNIX):
# prefvalue -k "Programs/indexsrv/Plugins/officeindexer
/TmpDir" -t str "/data/tika-tmpdir"
XMPAttributes
strlist
""

This preference is called with the following key:

Key: Programs/indexsrv/Plugins/oiindexer/XMPAttributes/<URI>

The “oiindexer” plug-in can extract custom metadata from the XMP block of an image, and write them to the database. Read 5.1 „Eigene XMP-Metadaten-Attribute“ for a detailled description of this feature.

This string list contains either KEY so that the corresponding value is stored in the database as a string under this KEY, or KEY;ENTRY, so the corresponding value is stored in the database in the ENTRY column. Or it contains KEY;ENTRY;TYPE, which makes the value being stored in the database in the ENTRY column, with the corresponding type. TYPE can either be “int”, “real”, “bool” or “date”.

Example:
prefvalue -k "Programs/indexsrv/Plugins/oiindexer
             /XMPAttributes
             /http:\/\/de.helios.samplenamespace\/"
             -t strlist "Barcode;kMDItemBarcode;
             real,Vendor;kMDItemVendor,GoodsGroup"
