Document processing options
The mkvdk utility provides the following document processing options:
Bulk submit options
The mkvdk utility provides the following bulk submit options:
Use bulk insert and delete options
Use the bulk submit feature to populate fields. The bulk submit feature supports the insertion of documents and
related field values into collections.
1 Define the fields in the style.sfl and style.ufl file, as appropriate.
2 Create a bulk submit file that specifies the documents to insert and the field values for each document.
3 Run the mkvdk utility using the -bulk option and specifying the bulk submit file or files.
Collection maintenance options
The mkvdk utility provides the following collection maintenance options:
Option Description
-extract Extracts field values from documents, using the field extraction rules specified in the style.tde file.
-insert Adds documents to the collection. This is the default option for the mkvdk command.
-update Adds documents to the collection by replacing all previous information about the specified documents.
-delete Marks the specified documents as deleted, and makes them unavailable for searches. To actually remove deleted
documents from the collection’s internal documents table and word indexes, use the squeeze keyword (see
“Squeezing deleted documents” on page 158).
-nosave Specifies that a work list, which is generated by the mkvdk utility automatically when you use the -extract
option, is not saved in the collection directory in a file called worklist (in the Verity bulk submit file format). By
default, the mkvdk utility saves the worklist in the worklist file.
-nosubmit Specifies that a work list, which is generated by the mkvdk utility automatically when you use the -extract
option, is not submitted to the indexing engine and is saved in the collection directory in a file called worklist (in
the Verity bulk submit file format). This option allows the mkvdk utility to process field extraction separately from
other indexing tasks.
Option Description
-bulk Interprets filespec as a bulk submit file. You can use this option with the -insert, -update, and -delete
options.
-offset num Specifies the offset into a bulk submit file or files. If you specify multiple bulk submit files and use the -offset
option, the offset is applied to all the bulk submit files.
-numdocs num Specifies the number of documents to insert or delete from the bulk insert file or files. If you specify multiple bulk
insert or delete files and use the
-numdocs option, the -numdocs setting is applied to all the bulk insert or delete
files.
-autodel Deletes the bulk submit file or files when the bulk submission work has finished.
