Registering file types
The BlueCielo IFilter that is installed by Meridian Enterprise does not register any file types for content indexing by default. It is up to you to decide which file types you want to use the IFilter with so that it does not conflict with other IFilters that you may have installed yourself. Individual file types can be registered with the Windows command line program named regsvr32.exe.
To register a file type:
-
On the Meridian Enterprise computer (primary cluster node), open a Command Prompt window and run the following commands:
cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Cyco Shared\AV”
cd "C:\Program Files\BC-Meridian\Program"
regsvr32.exe av_iFilter.dll
regsvr32.exe av_adapterps.dll
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\BC-Meridian\Program"
regsvr32.exe av_adapterps.dll
av_adapter.exe /regserver
cd "C:\Program Files\BC-Meridian\Program"
- Run the following command once for each file type that you want to register:
regsvr32.exe /n /i:<FileExtension> av_iFilter.dll
For example, to register the AutoCAD DWG file type, run:
regsvr32.exe /n /i:dwg av_iFilter.dll
You can combine registration commands into a batch file to easily run them all and to provide a record of which file extensions have been registered. The following example registers the .dwg, .dxf,.dgn, and .pdf file types:
regsvr32.exe av_iFilter.dll regsvr32.exe /n /i:dwg av_iFilter.dll regsvr32.exe /n /i:dxf av_iFilter.dll regsvr32.exe /n /i:dgn av_iFilter.dll regsvr32.exe /n /i:pdf av_iFilter.dll
To unregister file extensions or the IFilter completely, run similar commands as shown in the following example:
regsvr32.exe /u /n /i:dgn av_iFilter.dll regsvr32.exe /u /n /i:dxf av_iFilter.dll regsvr32.exe /u /n /i:dwg av_iFilter.dll regsvr32.exe /u /n /i:pdf av_iFilter.dll regsvr32.exe /u av_iFilter.dll
Note The content indexes must be rebuilt before text that is filtered by the IFilter can be searched.
