How to Move Indexed Files

Question​

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

Answer​

If indexed files need to be moved from one drive to another, refer to the following steps:

  1. Run the Netwrix Data Classification Service Viewer utility:

    • if NDC has been upgraded to a newer version, its default location is %ProgramFiles%\ConceptSearching\ServiceViewer\conceptServiceViewer.exe
    • if NDC v5.6 has been installed for the first time, its default location is %Program Files%\Netwrix\Data Classification\ServiceViewer\conceptServiceViewer.exe

  2. Stop the following Netwrix 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 %Program Files%/Netwrix/Data Classification/ConceptDB) to a new location.

  4. Run conceptConfig.exe from one of the locations below (default paths), enter the new directory path in the Folder for CSE Files field, and click Save:

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

    or

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

  5. Start Netwrix Data Classification services using Windows Services Manager.
