The following parameters appear in ignite.ini by default.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
RFINDEX | Directory used to store Search Service index files. By default, the installer puts these files in the Install_Dir/ptsearchserver/10.3.0/index subdirectory. The directory should have sufficient space for the collection you are indexing. You should not change this parameter unless you move your index files or are instructed to do so by customer support. |
RFPORT | Port that the Search Service uses for communication with other processes (mainly the portal). The installer prompts for this port number during installation. This value displays in the Search Service Manager, on the Host Settings page. If you change this value in ignite.ini, you must also change the value in the Search Service Manager or the portal will malfunction. |
RF_MAPPING_TOKEN_CACHE_SIZE | Specifies the size of the cache of mapping tokens. These tokens represent thesaurus and Best Bets entries read from the mappings collection. The default value is 5000. This parameter is chosen in the configuration file templates to reflect the expected number of tokens associates with the maximum supported collection size. The value of this parameter does not have a large effect on Search Service performance. Each cache element is 120 bytes in size, so the default mapping cache will occupy 600 kilobytes of memory. |
RF_LOG_VERBOSITY | Numeric parameter that determines how much information is logged in the Search Service logs. Values range from 0 to 5. The default is 3 (high verbosity). You generally do not need to change this parameter. We recommend you not set this below 3. If RF_LOG_VERBOSITY is set below 3, the reports generated by the Search Log Analysis external operation (and viewable on the Search Results Manager) will not contain all of the information needed to support log analysis. |
RF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_CACHE_SIZE | Numeric parameter that specifies the size of the cache of document tokens. These tokens are words from the actual indexed content in the Search Service. The default value is 250000. This parameter has a significant effect on Search Service indexing and query performance, with larger values providing better performance. This parameter is chosen in the configuration file templates to reflect the expected number of tokens associates with the maximum supported collection size. Each cache element is 120 bytes in size, so the default document token cache occupies 29 megabytes of memory. |
RF_SPELL_TOKEN_CACHE_SIZE | Numeric parameter that specifies the size of the cache of spelling tokens. These tokens are word fragments from the spelling data derived from the indexed content. The default value is 250000. This value does not need to be larger than the number of tokens in the spell collection, and it does not need to exceed the value in the configuration file templates provided in the config directory. This parameter has a significant effect on indexing performance, spell checking, and wild card queries. If these operations seem particularly slow, you can increase the value specified by this parameter. In practice, values larger than 1000000 provide diminishing return while consuming significant amounts of memory. Each cache element is 120 bytes in size, so the default spell cache occupies 29 megabytes of memory. |
RF_INDEX_CACHE_BYTES | Numeric parameter specifying the size of the index cache in bytes. The default value is 78643200 (75 megabytes). The value of this parameter has a significant effect on Search Service query performance. The index and docset (see RF_DOCSET_CACHE_BYTES) caches should be made as large as possible while leaving sufficient memory available for the Search Service's other needs. |
RF_DOCSET_CACHE_BYTES | Numeric parameter specifying the size of the document cache in bytes. The default value is 2614400 (25 megabytes). The value of this parameter has a significant effect on Search Service query performance. The index and docset (see RF_INDEX_CACHE_BYTES) caches should be made as large as possible while leaving sufficient memory available for the Search Service's other needs. |
