Adding mimetype to document types in Web Access

Question

I need more mimetypes than are in document types in Web Access.
Have tried to add a mimetype just to the wks$mimetype table but get java errors when go in the Usearch Admin web site. Is there a set way to add these to the Not Processed list in Web Access, so can add to the Processed list?

Answer 1

Can you tell us what is the mimetype that is missing from the list?
Is it a proprietary mimetype? Ultra Search does not support adding of new
mimetype as it perceive the list is complete (it is from IANA, Internet Assigned Numbers Authority).
Every new mimetype needs a message id which points to the description of the mimetype. Since
user can not add new message, you will have to use an arbitary id outside the range of 26000-26034,
you might want to try id 80189 "Document type", e.g.,
insert into wk$mimetypes(descriptor,media_type,extensions, id, msg_id)
values ('abc document','application/abc','abc',wk$mimetypes_seq.nextval, 80189);
Another workaround is to add this new mimetype directly to the ultrasearch/data/config/crawler.dat file. In that case every
data source will pick up document of this mimetype. e.g.,
MIMEINCLUDE application/abc
Keep in mind operation like this is not supported by Ultra Search.
