CONFIGURING AND ADMINISTERING COLDFUSION 9
Using the ColdFusion Administrator
Last updated 2/21/2012
ColdFusion lets you manage your collections from the Administrator. You can index, optimize, purge, or delete
Verity/Solr collections that are connected to ColdFusion. You use the icons in the Actions column to perform the
following actions:
ColdFusion includes Verity and Solr, which provides indexing and searching technology. This enables creating,
populating, and managing collections of indexed data that are optimized for fast and efficient site searches.
A collection is a logical group of documents and metadata about the documents. The metadata includes word indexes,
an internal documents table of document field information, and logical pointers to the document files.
For more information about building search interfaces, see Building a Search Interface and Solr search support in the
Developing ColdFusion Applications.
If the ColdFusion Collections page is unable to retrieve collections, ensure that Verity/Solr Search Server is running.
For more information, see “Collections and the ColdFusion Verity architecture” on page 116 and “Solr Server and
Collections” on page 169.
Verity K2 Server page
You can install Verity on a different host computer from the computer on which ColdFusion is running. If so,
configure the host to be used by ColdFusion for performing search operations. In addition, you may need to use
advanced settings to configure the aliases and ports of the services that ColdFusion uses. You need not change these
values if you are running with the ColdFusion installed version of Verity.
Web Services page
You can use web services to produce and consume remote application functionality over the Internet. The ColdFusion
Administrator lets you register web services so that you do not have to specify the entire Web Services Description
Language (WSDL) URL when you reference the web service. The first time you reference a web service, ColdFusion
automatically registers it in the Administrator.
When you register a web service, you can shorten your code and change a web service URL without editing your code.
For more information, see Using Web Services in the Developing ColdFusion Applications.
Flex Integration page
Use this page to specify which Flex integration features to enable and which IP addresses can perform data-service
operations. If you enable Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES support, but do not specify any IP addresses, only
processes on the local computer can connect to the LiveCycle Data Services ES server in ColdFusion.
Action Description
Index Analyzes the files in a collection and assembles metadata and pointers to the files.
Optimize Reclaims space left by deleted and changed files by consolidating collection indexes for faster searching. You
should optimize collections regularly.
Purge Deletes all documents in a collection, but not the collection itself. Leaves the collection directory structure intact.
Delete Deletes a collection.
