Creating a File System Document Store

Add one or more collection of documents from your local file system, including a mapped network drive or mounted remote file system into Sybase Search.

The file system document store accepts one or more directory roots. Sybase Search analyzes directories and subdirectories. Files with MIME types are then indexed. You can customize the list of valid MIME types. The directory paths must use a valid structure and exist for the target platform. For example, use "\" for Windows and "/" for UNIX.

In the Enterprise Explorer, expand Sybase Search Servers > (Sybase Search Connection Profile) > Sybase Search Server > Document Stores.
Right-click File System Import Manager and select New.

Enter appropriate values for the fields that appear in the New File System Stores wizard:
