Post-processing Downloaded Search Results

To configure the iConsole to download search results to non-binary formats such as PDF, you need to define a custom download format that uses a post-processing step to make the conversion.

This post-processor is specified in the WebService registry key on the iConsole application server. In this key, you must create the following registry value:

SearchResultsDownloadConvertTo<MyFormat>

Type: REG_SZ

Name: When you create this registy value, replace <MyFormat> with the download format created by the post-processor. For example, to convert downloaded search results to PDF format:

SearchResultsDownloadConvertToPDF

Data: Specifies the full path and file name of the post-processor. This must be a command line application, accessible on the iConsole application server, that takes the names of an input file and output file as parameters and performs the conversion from one to the other. For example, set the data to:

C\Myfolder\MyConvertor.bat.
