System and custom configuration settings for IBM Connections documents

The configuration for IBM Connections documents includes default attribute and archive attribute settings, and custom settings that can be added by the user.

The default settings on the System Settings tab include the IBM Connections documents attributes required by Content Collector. You should not remove any of the attributes that were added to the configuration for Content Collector. Only add new entries to the existing attributes on the Custom Settings tab.

The archive attributes list IBM Connections document attributes stored in IBM FileNet® P8.

Add custom attributes, custom archive attributes, and Content Search Services Support configuration option settings on the Custom Settings tab.

The custom attributes and custom archive attributes must be added under the respective sections in the format shown in the example. Note the following when adding attributes:

Important:

Attributes added to the [Attributes] section of the configuration are not case-sensitive.
Attributes added to the [ArchiveAttributes] section of the configuration are case-sensitive. The archive attribute case must match the case used for attributes in IBM FileNet P8.

If you are upgrading to IBM Content Collector V4.0, you must manually add the following attributes on the System Settings tab under the [XmlIccDateExpressions] section:

//*[local-name()='startDate'] -> @icc_date
//*[local-name()='endDate']   -> @icc_date

Thereafter, the [XmlIccDateExpressions] section for IBM Connections documents should contain the following attributes:

[XmlIccDateExpressions]
//*[local-name()='updated']   -> @icc_date
//*[local-name()='created']   -> @icc_date
//*[local-name()='modified']  -> @icc_date
//*[local-name()='published'] -> @icc_date
//*[local-name()='startDate'] -> @icc_date
//*[local-name()='endDate']   -> @icc_date

Additionally, Content Search Services Support uses the configuration options AttachmentTextConversion and DumpDocumentIds if they are defined in the configuration. If you want to define these options, add them below the custom attributes and custom archive attributes in the following way:

[Settings]
AttachmentTextConversion = 0
DumpDocumentIds = {50F0181B-9FE3-5718-5383-9A5ECAF35E14} {361B375F-98C8-476D-BBAE-F3AD4778FE81}

Tip: You should rather use the afuDump tool instead of defining the DumpDocumentIds configuration option which involves changing the configuration and restarting IBM Content Search Services. For details, see Selective dumping of the original documents for debugging purposes.
