About the general format of Custom Properties.xml
For Enterprise Vault to access and index additional properties on Domino server messages, the properties must be defined in the file Custom Properties.xml
, which you create in the Enterprise Vault\Custom Filter Rules
folder on the computer running the archiving tasks enabled for custom filtering. The installed file, Enterprise Vault\Custom Filter Rules\Example Custom Properties.xml
provides an example of this file.
The file has the following sections:
<CONTENTCATEGORIES></CONTENTCATEGORIES> This section defines available content categories. A content category is a group of settings that will be applied to an item when it is archived. This can include custom properties to index.
<CUSTOMPROPERTIES></CUSTOMPROPERTIES> This section defines the additional message properties that are to be available to Enterprise Vault.
See Defining additional Domino message properties in custom properties.
<PRESENTATION></PRESENTATION> This section defines how the content categories and custom properties are displayed to users in proprietary third party applications.
Note:
The order of these sections is significant.
The following outline shows the general format of the file:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <CUSTOMPROPERTYMETADATA xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/ XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="customproperties.xsd"> <!-- 1. DEFINITION OF CONTENT CATEGORIES AVAILABLE --> <CONTENTCATEGORIES> <CONTENTCATEGORY> ... </CONTENTCATEGORY> [<CONTENTCATEGORY> ... </CONTENTCATEGORY>] </CONTENTCATEGORIES> <!-- 2. DEFINITION OF CUSTOM PROPERTIES AVAILABLE --> <CUSTOMPROPERTIES> <NAMESPACE> ... </NAMESPACE> [<NAMESPACE> ... </NAMESPACE>] </CUSTOMPROPERTIES> <!-- 3. DEFINITION OF PRESENTATION PROPERTIES AVAILABLE --> <PRESENTATION> <APPLICATION> <FIELDGROUPS> <FIELDGROUP> ... </FIELDGROUP> [<FIELDGROUP> ... </FIELDGROUP>] </FIELDGROUPS> <AVAILABLECATEGORIES> <AVAILABLECATEGORY> ... </AVAILABLECATEGORY> [<AVAILABLECATEGORY> ... </AVAILABLECATEGORY>] </AVAILABLECATEGORIES> </APPLICATION> [<APPLICATION> ... </APPLICATION>] </PRESENTATION>
A summary description of all mandatory and optional elements and attributes in the file is provided in the following section:
See Summary of custom property elements and attributes.
Whenever you modify the file, you must restart the associated archiving tasks. In a distributed environment, you must copy the updated file to each computer with tasks enabled for custom properties, and then restart the associated tasks on each computer.
If Enterprise Vault Search is used to search for custom properties, then the Enterprise Vault Application Pool in IIS Manager must also be restarted.
When performing a search for custom properties using Enterprise Vault Search, you must enter the property name in the search criteria exactly as it is specified in the Custom Properties.xml file; the case used for the property name in the search criteria must match that used in the file. Values entered for custom properties are also case-sensitive.
