If you are configuring multiple full-text servers and need to specify which full-text catalogs a specific server should process, you may add additional keys to the *.exe.config file of the Full-Text Search server.

Tip:

These instructions assume that you have already installed and configured the Full-Text Search server. If you haven't installed the server yet, complete the installation process first.

To edit the *.exe.config file:

  1. Locate the Hyland.FullText.Server.exe.config file of the Hyland Full-Text Server.
    The *.config file is located with the server executable, which in a default installation is located at C:\Program Files\Hyland\Services\Full-Text Server\
  2. Open the *.exe.config file in a plain-text editor, such as Notepad.
    Note:

    The *.config file should only be edited in a plain-text editor, such as Notepad, or a utility specifically designed to edit XML files. It should not be edited in a binary editor, such as Microsoft Word. Using a binary editor can introduce invalid characters to the file and make it unreadable by the software.

  3. Locate the appSettings element and add the following keys as child elements of the appSettings element:
    • <add key="allowedCatalogIDs" value="" />

    • <add key="disallowedCatalogIDs" value="" />

  4. Enter a comma-separated list of the full-text catalog ID numbers to process as the value of the value attribute in the allowedCatalogIDs key. For example, for this server to process catalogs 106, 108, and 109, the value attribute should look like this: value="106,108,109"
    Tip:

    The ID number of a full-text catalog is the final directory in the Catalog Path, which can be viewed in the Catalog tab of the Full-Text Configuration Module (see Catalogs Tab Overview). For example, if the Catalog Path is E:\FullTextCatalogs\2-127\108 then the catalog ID number is 108.

  5. Enter a comma-separated list of the full-text catalog ID numbers to ignore as the value of the value attribute in the disallowedCatalogIDs key. For example, for this server to ignore catalogs 105, 107, and 110, the value attribute should look like this: value="105,107,110"
  6. Save and close the *.exe.config file.
  7. Restart the Hyland Full-Text Server for the changes to take effect.
