Option Description
-extract This option extracts field values from documents, using the field extraction rules
specified in the style.tde file. For more information, refer to Chapter 9.
-insert This option adds documents to the collection. This is the default option for
mkvdk.
-update This option adds documents to the collection by replacing all previous information
about the specified documents.
-delete This option 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.
-nosave Specifies that a work list, which is generated by
mkvdk automati-cally when the
-extract option is used, will not be saved in the collection directory in a file called
worklist (in the Verity bulk submit file format). By default,
mkvdk saves the worklist
in the worklist file.
-nosubmit Specifies that a work list, which is generated by
mkvdk automatically when the
-extract option is used, will not be submitted to the indexing engine and will be
saved in the collection directory in a file called worklist (in the Verity bulk submit file
format). This option allows
mkvdk to process field extraction separately from other
indexing tasks..Collection Building Tool (
