  • The Collection Creation Directory (FULCREATE) specifies the local directory where new collections are created.

  • The Collection Search Path (FULSEARCH) specifies the directory or directories in which FTR looks for collections.

  • The temporary directory (FULTEMP) specifies a directory where temporary files are created during indexing and searching operations.

  • The Network Search Path (FTNPATH) specifies the remote nodes where FTR looks for collections.

To change the values you specified during installation for the FULCREATE, FULSEARCH, FULTEMP, or FTNPATH directories, perform the following steps for both User DSN and System DSN.

  1. Click Start > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC). Then, click User DSN > SearchServer_6.5 > Configure.

  2. On the SearchServer Setup dialog box, type the path of the directory where you want collections to be created in the FULCREATE box.

  3. In the FULSEARCH box, type the directory or list of directories where you want FTR to look for collections. The directories must be separated by semicolons (;).

    The Collection Search Path must contain the collection creation directory and the fulltext subdirectory of the FTR product directory (example: C:\Program Files\Intergraph\FTR\fulltext).

  4. In the FULTEMP box, type a directory where temporary files can be created. Be sure that there is at least two or three times as much space available as the size of your data.
