titleCan clients connect to Geodi securely?
Info

GEODI works with SSL structure and can be accessed as HTTPS. In this way, data communication is managed securely.

Expand
titleCan the discovery agent GDE only work from port1982?
Info

The port 1982 is the default port required for the GEODI server to access the Client. A different port can be used upon request. In addition, the Client must also be able to access GEODI through the specified port(s).

titleDo Firewall/Antivirus security rules affect the operation of Geodi and agents?
Info

Possible impact. Since GEODI works with big data, some rules in security tools during communications may slow down operations or completely prevent communication. In such cases, the relevant GEODI tools should be excluded in these rules with the support of the DECE technical team.

titleIndexing too slow
Info

GEODI is designed to make optimum use of the server. Server memory and CPU resources are used dynamically. The number of concurrent tasks is increased for simple and fast processing files and decreased for heavy files.

If the processing is too slow

  • Memory may be low or being used by other processes running on the server

  • There may be processes that consume high CPU resources, such as intensive OCR.

  • Network connections to the filerserver may be very slow

  • There is content such as a large number of logs, csv, large excel files.

  • There may be network problems with database connectivity or database congestion

  • The GEODI indexing speed mentioned in the Project Wizard may be the lowest.

titleStopping and restarting indexing
Info

You may need to stop GEODI for maintenance on the server computer, relocation, updating GEODI or for any other reason. You can do this with the interface or scripts. During intensive data processing, stopping can take time. Stopping from the task manager will cause the index to go into repair or recovery from backup at startup.

titleBacking up the index and creating the Disaster Recovery environment
Info

Periodic backup of the index and creation of an active/passive DRM environment is described on page Active-Passive and Active-Active configuration By only backing up, it speeds up the system startup and activation in case of possible interruptions.

titleRestoring Index Backup
Info

In the Advanced settings on the last page of the GEODI Project Wizard, the project index backup directory can be given against possible system outages. GEODI index can be used through this directory in case of possible interruptions. You can use the Index Backup and Recovery page for backup.

Which permisions are Required for Database Indexing
Info

Indexing is done as "Read-Only" according to the authorizations of the user given during database connection.

File Issues

Expand
titleHow password protected and erroneous files are processed
Info

GEODI indexes only the name of password protected files. Protected files indexed in this way can be listed with the queries "status:GEODICryptedContent" or "status:GEODICryptedContentPart".

Files with errors can be queried with “status:HasScanError”

titleCannot read some files in a network environment
Info

Due to nested folders, there may be problems accessing files whose full path is too long. The source of this problem is the Windows operating system, you may also get similar errors when copying. You can solve it by shortening file paths by defining a network drive.

titleGEODI cannot see the mapped Network drive
Info

This issue is related to a security update to Windows. You can overcome this problem by performing the steps on the following page.

ShapeFile character encoding issues
title
Info

A solution in case "strange" characters appear in short summaries when viewing records:

  • Create a CPG or CST file with the same name as the shape file and write the encoding name like ( UTF-8 , ISO-... ... https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding(v=vs.110).aspx  )

  • If writing encoding is not a solution, after backing up the DBF file in the same directory as the SHP file, open it with OpenOffice or other software and select the encoding. The file is saved with the same name and extension.

    • ! The dbf file must be backed up. After this process, errors may be received when SHP is viewed with different programs.

titleDeleted files still appear in search results
Info

This behaviour is by design. In order to remove deleted files from the GEODI index, you need to delete deleted files from the Project Management interface.

titleWhat is "System.io Path too Long Exception" Error?
Info

Windows can access directories up to 260 characters long.After this value, “System.io Path too Long Exception“ error is received. As a solution, you can edit the path appropriately (mapping).

Projection Issues

Expand
titleTroubleshooting Shape file projection issues
Info

  • If the shape file projections are missing or incorrect, you may experience problems in reading, viewing and using the file as a dictionary.

    • In case of a projection problem you need to edit or recreate the PRJ file.

      • The projection problem will be displayed directly during operations such as dictionary preparation, during scanning it will be recorded in the scan log file.

      • Example "Missing projection parameter 'latitude_of_origin' It is also not defined as 'latitude_of_center'. Parameter name: parameterNam" is an example of GEODI not recognizing the projection in question. 

      • For editing it is necessary to create a Projection WKT using another software that recognizes the projection of the file and modify the PRJ content.

      • You can make use of

  • If you want us to help, you can also send us the Shape file or PRJ file you are having trouble with.
