Content

String value containing list of file types.

The list format is:

.filetype[.filetype].

Each file type must be prefixed by a period and the list ending with a period. For example:

.DOC.XLS.

From Enterprise Vault 6.0, all file types can be converted to text by using the * wildcard character. For example, value of .*. converts all file types to text.

Description

By default, when an item is archived, Enterprise Vault attempts to convert the item directly to HTML so that it can be viewed using the Enterprise Vault Web Access application. This is done using the INSO HTML converters.

Unfortunately, these HTML converters do not work well with some file types. Due to this, as a workaround it is possible to have certain file types converted to text and then to HTML. This loses some formatting when viewing the item using the Enterprise Vault Web Access application but does allow the content these file types to be searchable.

This registry entry lists all file types that must be converted using the INSO text converters instead of the HTML converters.

The Storage Service needs to be stopped and restarted in order to use any new registry value.
