As of version 9.08 there are some changes concerning storage location and files:

Storage location

$CADENAS_DATA\index\cat\...\

The Geo Index and the Topology Index are saved separately now.

The new Geo-Index is located in the subfolder geoindexv2 (next to the "old" geoindex), the Topo-Index in the folder topoindex.

The following files are located in the geoindexv2 directory:

The following files are located in the topoindex directory:

Some settings can be made under $CADENAS_SETUP/geomsearch.cfg. These are summarized in the [settings] block.

There are basically 3 options for generating the indices:

Further notes

There are 3 different search modes for the geo and topo index, depending on what has been defined in the geomsearch.cfg block settings (see above).

Furthermore the Linear Index is also used for the sketch search as of version 9.08 in order to reduce search times.

All caching settings can be set differently for the PARTdataManager 32 Bit and 64 Bit variant.

	Important
	When setting values for the Geo search please regard the following rules: Set LinIndexCacheSize and OffsetCacheSize in a size, that they are not completely exhausted. If this is not possible, then set a smaller value for the superordinated storage SampleLineCacheSize. If there is still memory left, set SampleLineCacheSize as large as possible.

The setting can be used for Server environments in order to exclude catalogs or to load only special catalogs.

#:VALS_S
#:HELP;default;Include catalog, if the expression matches.
PreloaderIncludeRegexPos=
#:HELP;default;Include catalog, if the expression doesn't match.
PreloaderIncludeRegexNeg=
#:VALS_S
#:HELP;default;Exlucde catalog, if the expression matches.
PreloaderExcludeRegexPos=.*copyright\.prj$|.*_qa$|.*_dev$
#:VALS_S
#:HELP;default;Exclude catalog, if the expression doesn't match.
PreloaderExcludeRegexNeg=

Also compare $CADENAS_USER/varsearch.cfg -> [VariableSearch:Path]:

The setting under geomsearch.cfg is used to cache the geometrical index, the one under $CADENAS_USER/varsearch.cfg [VariableSearch:Path] is used to cache the index for variable and full-text search.

The above-mentioned log files (key LogFileName) can be used to optimize the search settings for the available data and search behaviour. The log file shows how full the respective caches are and how often the element was actually in the cache when it was accessed (cache hit).

Some notes for the interpretation of data:

You can access the Topo values in the following way:

' main class to manage topology
set topoManager = CreateObject("cnstools.topomanager")

' fetch root node of topology tree
set catalogRoot = topoManager.findCatalogRoot("cat/norm/din")
stdprint("Number of project in din: " & catalogRoot.childCount)

' fetch project node
set prjNode = topoManager.findProjectNode("cat/norm/din", "anlagenbau/armaturen/
 din_11864_1_a_asmtab.prj")
stdprint("Number of lines in anlagenbau/armaturen/din_11864_1_a_asmtab.prj: " 
 & prjNode.childCount)

' fetch line node
set lineNode = topoManager.findLineNode("cat/norm/din", "anlagenbau/armaturen/
 din_11864_1_a_asmtab.prj", 20)

' helper to recursively print all the attributes of a node
sub printAttributes(node, indent)
	stdprint(indent & node.name)
	c = node.childCount
	for j = 0 to c - 1
		printAttributes(node.child(j), indent & "  ")
	next
	a = node.attributeCount
	for j = 0 to a - 1
		set attr = node.attribute(j)
		value = attr.value
		valueAsString = ""
		set attrType = attr.type
		if attrType = "doubleVec" then
			n = value.count
			for k = 0 to n - 1
				if k > 0 then
					valueAsString = valueAsString & ", "
				end if
				valueAsString = valueAsString & value.item(k)
			next
		else
			valueAsString = value
		end if
		stdprint(indent & "  " & attr.name & ": " & valueAsString)
	next
end sub
