Crawling Custom Metadata Sample Script Appends /* to Content Source URL (306112)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001
This article was previously published under Q306112 SUMMARY
This article describes how a sample script named Propmap.wsf creates a site path rule for the content source URL you specify. This script is included in the Crawling Custom Metadata Using Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001 white paper, in the SharePoint Portal Server Resource Kit.
MORE INFORMATION
The Propmap.wsf script assumes the content source URL is for a Web site folder, and in the rule the script appends a backslash symbol (/) and an asterisk (*) to the content source URL. If you create a content source that points directly to an HTML Web page and not a Web site, an invalid site path rule is created and property mapping fails.
For example, if you create a content source for http://myserver/default.htm, after you run Propmap.wsf, a site path rule for http://myserver/default.htm/* is created. To work around this behavior, either use a Web site folder for the content source URL (http://myserver) or modify the sample script to handle the scenario where the content source is pointing to a Web page and not a folder name. Do not modify the site path rule the script creates; modifications may result in a property mapping failure.
