CloudNine™ LAW and CloudNine™ Explore come with a predefined dtSearch alphabet file (default.abc). Like the noise.dat file, the default.abc file is used when indexing case information, and determines which individual characters are search-able, cause a word break, or are ignored by searches in CloudNine™ LAW and CloudNine™ Explore cases.
For more information about characters in the dtSearch alphabet file, see http://support.dtsearch.com/webhelp/dtsearch/alphabet_customization.htm.
The alphabet file can be managed at both the application and case level. By default, the alphabet file is managed at the application level. The application-level default.abc file is located in the DTConfig folder which can be found in the installation path of CloudNine™ LAW.
You can also manage the alphabet file for CloudNine™ Explore at the case level by selecting the Use case-specific alphabet file (default.abc) check box on the Indexer tab in the Edit Case Settings dialog box for a case. The first time the check box is selected for a case, the application-level default.abc file in the DTConfig folder is copied to case's $IndexHome directory (...\cases\[caseName]\$EDA\$IndexHome), and can be edited from the Indexer tab. When the check box is selected, the case-level default.abc file will be used by the case. When the check box is not selected, the application-level default.abc file will be used for the case. See Indexer Case Settings for more information.
|
Once the Use case-specific alphabet file (default.abc) check box is selected for a case and the default.abc file is added to the case's $IndexHome directory, if the check box is cleared and then later reselected, the case-level default.abc file is not overwritten by the application-level default.abc file. The application-level default.abc file is only copied to a case's $IndexHome directory the first time the Use case-specific alphabet file (default.abc) check box is selected for a case. |
Editing the Application-level Alphabet File
1.Navigate to the DTConfig folder located in the CloudNine™ LAW installation directory.
i.The default directory is: C:\ProgramData\CloudNine\EdAnalyzer\Home.
2.Open the default.abc file using an alphabet file editor.
3.Make the applicable edits in the file.
|
Modifying the default.abc file can result in reduced performance of indexing and search operations. This is because any character modifications can impact how case files are indexed. |
4.Save and close the default.abc file.
5.In CloudNine™ Explore, rebuild each case's index.

Editing the Case-level Alphabet File
When the Use case-specific alphabet file (default.abc) check box is selected for a case on the Indexer tab in the Edit Case Settings dialog box, the case will use the case-level default.abc file in the case's $IndexHome directory (...\cases\[caseName]\$EDA\$IndexHome). When you change the Use case-specific alphabet file (default.abc) check box and/or edit the case's case-level default.abc file, you will need to rebuild the case's index.
The Use case-specific alphabet file (default.abc) check box can only be selected for a case once the case is created. The check box is disabled on the Indexer tab in the New Case Settings dialog box when a case is being created.
1.In CloudNine™ Explore, click the Case Manager tab.
2.Select the case for which you want to use and/or edit the case-level default.abc file, and then click Edit Selected Case.
i.If the case is already open in CloudNine™ Explore, you can select Case Settings from the Tools (wrench) drop-down in the upper-right corner. The Edit Case Settings dialog opens.
3.Click the Indexer tab.
4.Select the Use case-specific alphabet file (default.abc) check box.
i.When the Use case-specific alphabet file (default.abc) check box is selected, the Open link is displayed next to (default.abc).
5.Click the Open link.
i.If your computer does not know which program to use to open the default.abc file, the Window can't open this file message is displayed.
6.Open the default.abc file using an alphabet file editor.
7.Make the applicable edits in the file.
