Any documentation on EV9sp3 registry keys no longer necessary in EV10.2?

Has anyone created any documentation around registry keys used in EV9.3 that are not recommended after upgrading to EV10.2.

I know AVSMaxLoc is no longer necessary due to adjusting through the VAC, any others?

  • I'm absolutely sure those two registry keys are still valid.
    UseLocalDirectory - I don't think there's ever been a good use case scenario for this key
    EMCCenteraCollectionThreads - unless they've changed how the Centera Collections work, i'm absolutely sure this key is still used and in some cases necessary

  • I did a search of the Registry.pdf and found the following:

    SearchChunkSize :

    For Enterprise Vault 10.0 and later, SearchChunkSize affects 32-bit indexing only. For 64-bit indexing, there is no equivalent setting.

    RetryFailedIndexVolumesIntervalHours

    Note: For Enterprise Vault 10.0 and later, RetryFailedIndexVolumesIntervalHours affects 32-bit indexing only. For 64-bit indexing, use the computer properties advanced setting, Frequency of checks for failed volumes.

    CheckWidthNormalization

    For Enterprise Vault 10.0 and later, CheckWidthNormalization affects 32-bit indexing only. For 64-bit indexing, there is no equivalent setting.

    AVSMaxLoc

    Note: For Enterprise Vault 10.0 and later, AVSMaxLoc affects 32-bit indexing only. For 64-bit indexing, use the computer properties advanced setting, Maximum items in an index volume.

     

    Those were the only ones I found

  • well remember those keys may still be useful if you are troubleshooting issues with 32 bit indexes, because FAST/AltaVista still exists in EV10 and is still used for 32bit indexes

  • Thanks Tony and Jesus! I was wondering about UseLocalDirectory and EMCCenteraCollectionThreads as well, neither of which is in the EV10 registry doc.

  • Technote TECH71173 Enterprise Vault Best Practice Registry Keys and Boot.ini Settings

    Might be useful
