Import parameters

This section describes the import parameters. There is one table for each import parameter type.

**Table C-6: Input parameters**
Key	Default	Value	Description
TextImportExtns	None	String	Any extra extensions for text import.
HTMLImportExtns	None	String	Any extra extensions for HTML import.
ImportDefaultExtension	None	String	If the import module finds a file with an unknown extension, it treats it as the type you enter here, for example, .txt or .html.
ImportTempDir	.\	String	A temporary directory for the importer to use when importing nonstandard formats; in other words, documents that are not .txt or .html.
ImportRecursive DirectoryImporting	FALSE	TRUE/ FALSE	When set to TRUE, recursively imports subdirectories.

**Table C-7: Content parameters**
Key	Default	Value	Description
ImportMinLength	0	Integer	Any document with size smaller than this number of bytes is not imported. The size of the document is measured according to the plain text content.
ImportMaxLength	100000000	Integer	Any document with size greater than this number of bytes is not imported. The size of the document is measured according to the plain text content.
ImportMinLengthWords	0	Integer	Any document with less than this number of words is not imported.
ImportMaxLengthWords	1000000	Integer	Any document with more than this number of words is not imported.
ImportStoreContent	TRUE	TRUE/ FALSE	Specifies whether to store the content of the document in the destination DRE.
ImportSummary	FALSE	TRUE/ FALSE	Imports a field called “summary” that contains the quick summary information generated by the importing module.
ImportSummarySize	3	Integer	Number of sentences to be used in the quick summary generated by the importing module.
ImportBreaking	FALSE	TRUE/ FALSE	Specifies whether to break the document into sections when importing. To enable, you must also set the value of combine to 1 in the PortalSearchqueryh.cfg or DRE.INI file of the engine into which the data is being entered.
ImportBreakingMin ParagraphWords	160	Integer	The smallest section that can be created when attempting to break the document at paragraph boundaries.
ImportBreakingMax ParagraphWords	360	Integer	The largest section that can be created when attempting to break the document at paragraph boundaries.
ImportBreakingMinDoc Words	600	Integer	The size above which document breaking is implemented. Smaller documents remain whole.
ImportIntelligentTitle Summary	FALSE	TRUE/ FALSE	When set to TRUE, the import module attempts to find unique titles and summaries by comparing the title or summary of each document with the next. For example, if the first document has the title “News Today,” then the import module sets this as its title. If a second document has the same title, the import module attempts to find a unique title either from the headings (<H1>, <H2>, and so on) or failing that, from the content.

ImportPathReplaceUp ToSlash	-1	Integer	Specifies the slash through which the string is replaced with the string specified in ImportPathReplaceString. You can use this parameter to replace a single portion of many strings that contain different substrings, as opposed replacing a single word. For example, if the files in the queue are c:\a\b\hello,c:\a\c\hello, and c:\b\a\hello, setting ImportPathReplaceUpToSlash to 3 will replace the portion of the strings up to the third backslash in each string. By default, nothings is replaced.

ImportRegister ExecutableN=	None	String	This specifies the import slave that imports the corresponding files (see ImportRegisterExtnCSVs); for example: ImportRegisterExecutable0=testslave.exe In this example, testslave.exe imports HTML and XML files.
