Core options



Following are the Verity Spider core options:

    -cmdfile

    Syntax

    -cmdfile path_and_filename

    Specifies that Verity Spider reads command-line syntax from a file, in addition to the options passed in the command line. This option includes the path to the file that contains the command-line syntax. The -cmdfile option circumvents command-line length limits.

    The syntax for the command-file is:

    option optional_parameters

    For better readability, place each option and any parameters on a single line. Verity Spider can properly parse the lines.

    Note: Adobe recommends that you take advantage of the abstraction that this option offers. This option can greatly reduce user error in erroneously including or omitting options in subsequent indexing jobs.

    -collection

    Specifies the full path to the collection to create or update.

    Note: You receive an error if you specify a filename with an extension of CLM. Meta collections are not supported.

    -help

    Displays Verity Spider syntax options.

    -jobpath

    Syntax

    -jobpath path

    Specifies the location of the Verity Spider databases and the indexing job-related files and directories.

    The following are the job-related directories and their contents:

    log
    All Verity Spider log files. For descriptions of the log files, see -loglevel.

    bif
    Bulk insert files.

    temp
    Web pages cached for indexing. You can also specify the temp directory using the ‑temp option.

    These directories are created for you under the last directory specified in path.

    Path values must be unique for all indexing jobs. If you do not use the -jobpath option, Verity Spider creates a /spider/job directory within the collection. For multiple-collection tasks, the first collection specified is used.

    Note: You cannot use multiple job paths for multiple simultaneous indexing tasks for the same collection. Only one indexing task at a time can run for a given collection.

    -style

    Syntax

    -style path

    Specifies the path to the style files to use when creating a collection.

    If the -style option is not specified, Verity Spider uses the default style files in cf_root/lib/common/style.

    Note: You can safely omit the -style option when resubmitting an indexing job, as the style information is already a part of the collection. If you are using the -cmdfile option, you can leave it there.
