Using the Verity rcvdk Utility
Using rcvdk, you can check the contents of a collection from the command line.
rcvdk allows you to write a variety of queries, using words and phrases separated by
commas and/or Verity query language. A viewing option allows you to see document
contents and highlights in a simple text display.
rcvdk can be found in the ColdFusion bin directory:
•
cfusion\bin (Windows)
•
opt/coldfusion/verity/<platform>/bin (UNIX), where <platform> is
_ssol26, _hpux11, or _ilnx21.
