Note
Any attribute values in META-tagged fields are text strings only, which means
that dates and numbers are sorted as text, not as dates or numbers. Also, illegal
HTML characters in a META-tagged attribute are replaced with a hyphen. You
can use the Add Custom Property window (choose Web Publishing and click
the Add Custom Property link) to redefine the text-formatted dates and
numbers so that you can perform searches based on actual dates and numbers
for data in the Web Publishing collection.
Installing Filters
If you are not migrating from Enterprise Server 3.6, and you want to enable
document conversion, you must first purchase and install the document filters:
1.
Download the filters from Verity at:
http://www.verity.com/netscapefilters
.
2.
Uncompress them and install them into the
server_root /plugins/
search
directory.
3.
For each instance of the server for which you want to enable document
conversion, open the
server_root /https- server-id /config/
webpub.conf
file for editing.
4.
Within the
[NS-loader]
section of this file, add the following line:
NS-enable-conversion=Y
5.
Go to the Server Manager for the server instance.
6.
Click Apply to apply the changes you made to the
webpub.conf
file for
that server instance. The server automatically restarts.
If you are migrating from Enterprise Server 3.6, you may already have the filters
you need. For more information, see the migration information in the
Enterprise
Server Installation and Migration Guide
