CONFIGURING AND ADMINISTERING COLDFUSION 9
Using Verity Utilities
Last updated 2/21/2012
The utility reads srcCollection1, srcCollection2, and so on, and merges them into a single collection with the directory
name given for newCollection If the directory name given for newCollection does not exist, it is created.
Splitting collections using the merge utility
The following is the syntax for using the merge utility to split a single large collection into smaller collections:
merge -split <srcCollection> <newCollection1> <newCollection2> [-number]
The merge utility reads srcCollection and splits it into roughly equal pieces, using the filenames given for
newCollection1, and so on.
If you want to split a large collection into many new collections, you can use the following command, instead of
explicitly naming each new collection:
merge -split -number newCollection srcCollection
The merge utility reads the collection identified by srcCollection and splits it into the number of segments specified by
the
-number option. The name of the first new collection is generated by appending the first two letters in the alphabet
(aa) to the directory name given for newCollection. Each subsequent filename is generated by incrementing one of the
appended letters (up to zz) for a maximum of 676 partitions. For example, if the value of
-number is 3, and the value
of newCollection is Collection1, the collections are named, Collection1aa, Collection1ab, and Collection1ac.
Note: The maximum length of the directory name given for newCollection is two characters less than the length allowed
by the file system.
