Init Method

  • Article

The Init method of the ISearchProtocol interface initializes a protocol handler. It is called only once and is the first method called after the protocol handler is cocreated.

Parameters

Return Value

For a list of error messages returned by Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 protocol handlers, see Protocol Handler Error Messages.

Remarks

A previous instance of the Filter Daemon may have terminated unexpectedly without calling the ShutDown method. Protocol handlers that have a persistent state, such as registry entries and temporary files, should use the Init method to do any cleanup that is needed.

Requirements

Platforms: Windows Server 2003
