PropertyTypeDescription

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.search.analyzer

String

This parameter is used to change the default Apache Lucene Search Engine Analyzer.

More information at Configuring Lucene Analyzer.

This parameter must be set in the $TOMCAT_HOME/openkm.properties file.

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.search

This parameter can be used to disable Hibernate Search completely. This means you won't be able to search documents or folders.

This parameter must be set on $TOMCAT_HOME/openkm.properties file.

system.ocr.rotate

String

This parameter forces OCR to process rotated documents.

The feature is useful, for example, in upside-down scanned pages, where the standard OCR direction will fail.

The parameter is a collection of degrees separated by the character ";"

90;180;270;

More information at Configuring OCR engine.

system.ocr.spell.check

Boolean

When enabled, the text extracted by OCR is validated by a spell checker.

The application must have an enabled dictionary, see the parameter "system.openoffice.dictionary" at OpenOffice LibreOffice configuration parameters.

system.document.name.mismatch.check

Boolean

This parameter is used to enable or disable the name check when a new version of a document is uploaded.

max.search.results

Integer

This parameter sets the limit of the search results. For example, a value of 500 means you will never get more than 500 results for any query.

500

The reason the number of results is limited is that some queries can retrieve a huge number of results, especially when the queries are done across API methods.

system.demo

Boolean

This parameter is used to switch OpenKM to demo mode.

In a production environment it should never be enabled.

system.keyword.lowercase

Boolean

This parameter is used to force all keywords to lowercase.

The application is case-sensitive, which means a user can set two keywords like "keyone" and "KeyOne" and, for the application, these two keywords are distinct. To prevent this problem, it is always a good idea to force all keywords to lowercase.

tomcat.connector.uri.encoding

String

By default, Tomcat Connector encoding is set to "ISO-8859-1", but you can change it with this parameter.

When you set the "URIEncoding" parameter in Tomcat to "UTF-8", you also need to set this parameter to "UTF-8".

URIEncoding="UTF-8"

ISO-8859-1

sanitize.lucene.fields

false

property.group.element.default.access

Boolean

When set to true, all the metadata fields are shown to users; when false, none of the metadata fields are shown.

  • When the value is set to false, all the metadata fields are not shown by default. In this scenario, it makes sense to use grantUser and grantRole.
