Most of the steps are similar to the steps for ProjectWise XM, but I would like you to draw your attention to the registry keys which were not part of previous configurations for defining indexing location.

  1. In Windows Explorer, create new location for the index. For example, D:\PWFT-IndexStorage.
  2. Stop the Microsoft Indexing Service.
  3. Stop ProjectWise Orchestration Framework Service.
  4. Open Computer Management, go to Services and Applications> Indexing Service>bentley_index under Directories item, add a new directory pointing to new location D:\PWFT-IndexStorage.
  5. Copy content of old index location to the just created one. By default index location is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bentley\index-storage.
  6. From Computer Management, delete the old location from the bentley_index>Directories.
  7. Open the Windows Registry Editor.
  8. Locate following registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex\Catalogs\bentley_index. Edit the "Location" key to the value of new index location D:\PWFT-IndexStorage.
  9. Create/locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bentley\ProjectWise\Automated File Processing or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bentley\ProjectWise\Automated File Processing, if you are deploying on 64-bit version of windows.
  10. Under that key, create/modify a string called FtrIndexCatalogDir, and for its value enter the path to the folder where you have the text index catalog copied to. For example, D:\PWFT-IndexStorage. You should find catalog.wci in this folder.
  11. (ProjectWise Integration Server computers only) Under the same key, create a string called ExtractionTempDir, and for its value enter the path to the folder in which you want ProjectWise to temporarily store the files downloaded for extraction. For example, D:\ D:\PWFT-TempDirectory.
  12. Under the same key, create/modify a string called FtrIndexDataDir, and for its value enter the path to the folder in which you have the text index proxy files. For example, D:\PWFT-IndexStorage\Data. In this folder you should find dms_catalogs.xml and folder for each ProjectWise datasource indexed.

    Copied file dms_catalogs.xml still points to the old index location. Information of Registered Full Text Indexing Servers catalogs will remain incorrect until correct paths will be in dms_catalogs.xml file. You can check the properties in ProjectWise Administrator, under Registered Full Text Indexing Servers.
  13. From Windows Explorer, delete dms_catalogs.xml file from new index location, it will be recreated and modified on first Full Text extraction runs for datasource. Or you could manually edit dms_catalogs.xml file, by correcting entries of index path for each datasource indexed.
  14. Delete/Archive old index. Default index location is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bentley\index-storage.
  15. Start the Microsoft Indexing Service.
  16. Start the ProjectWise Orchestration Framework Service.
