Moving Indexed Files

Question​

How can you move the indexed files created by Netwrix Data Classification?

Answer​

To move indexed files to a different drive, follow these steps:

  1. Run the Netwrix Data Classification (NDC) Service Viewer utility:

    • If you upgraded NDC to a newer version, its default location is: %ProgramFiles%\ConceptSearching\ServiceViewer\conceptServiceViewer.exe
    • If you installed NDC v5.6 for the first time, its default location is: %ProgramFiles%\Netwrix\Data Classification\ServiceViewer\conceptServiceViewer.exe

  2. Stop the following Data Classification services:

    • Collector Service
    • Indexer Service
    • Classifier Service

  3. Copy all CSE files from the original folder (by default, located in either %ProgramFiles%\ConceptSearching\ConceptDB or %ProgramFiles%\Netwrix\Data Classification\ConceptDB) to a new location.

  4. Run conceptConfig.exe from one of the following locations (default paths):

    C:\inetpub\wwwroot\conceptQS\bin
    %ProgramFiles%\ConceptSearching\Services\ConceptCollectorService
    %ProgramFiles%\ConceptSearching\Services\conceptIndexer

    or

    C:\inetpub\wwwroot\conceptQS\bin
    %ProgramFiles%\Netwrix\Data Classification\Services\ConceptCollectorService
    %ProgramFiles%\Netwrix\Data Classification\Services\conceptIndexer

    Enter the new directory path in the Folder for CSE Files field and click Save.

  5. Start Data Classification services using Windows Services Manager.
