Customizing indexing (in datafinder) DIAdem 10

[kaan]

Hi everybody,

i have a special data format which i wrote a data plugin for. Now i am indexing those data but it takes very long time since there are a lot of file. ( and maybe some other reasons)

do you know if it is possible to to customize indexing of datafinder? For example i dont want it to index all standart and custom properties but only some of them.

is it possible?

thanks in advance

Hi Kaan,

It is possible in general to customize how the files are indexed in the DataFinder-- by choosing how you program the DataPlugin.  It is even possible to have the set of indexed properties be different from the set of loaded properties.  But there is no way to avoid the base model properties being indexed ("RegisterInt1", "RegisterInt2", etc).

The biggest chance to speed up the indexing would be to check if we can speed up your DataPlugin.  Are you using DirectAccessChannels?  How about if you send over your URI file and a couple sample data files, and I'll see if there's any way we can get them to index faster.
