Setting the Verity collections permissions

You must make your existing version 3.5 Verity collections available for upgrading to K2 collections to complete the Content Engine data upgrade.

To set the Verity collections permissions:

  1. Locate the directories that contain the collections and change the directory permissions to allow access to the following users:
    • The Content Engine operating system user, which is ce_os_user
    • The K2 operating system user, which is k2_os_user
  2. For each directory that contains version 3.5 content-search indexes (Verity collections) that you want to upgrade to 4.5.1 index areas (K2 collections), make the collections readable by Verity by opening the Verity.cfg file and entering the following information:
    aliasn
    a path count number that increments for each path you list
    mappingn
    the full path to the collections directory
    dirmoden
    a permission value that you must set to wr (write and read).
    1. Open the Verity configuration file in a text editor:

      C:\ProgramFiles\filenet\contentengine\verity\k2\common\verity.cfg

    2. Modify the next available alias settings by entering the information for each collections directory to be upgrade.
      For example, if the next available settings are number 6 and you want to upgrade collections on myserver, located in FileStores\myfilestore\index, you would change alias6, mapping6, and dirmode6 to the following values:
      alias6=path1
      mapping6=\\myserver\FileStores\myfilestore\index
      dirmode6=wr
      To add another directory, myotherserver\collections\index, you would modify the settings for number 7 as follows:
      alias7=path2
      mapping7=\\myotherserver\collections\index
      dirmode7=wr
      Important: If the upgraded 4.5.1 Content Engine Server is UNIX, be sure to specify the UNIX mount to the 3.5 content-search indexes, for example:
      mapping6=/opt/CE_35_filestore_mount/index
