Using the Verity browse Utility 209
Using the Verity browse Utility
A documents table is built for each partition in a collection. The documents table is
used for field searching and for sorting search results. The fields within the
documents table are defined by the following collection style files:
•
style.ddd defines fields used internally by the Verity engine, identified by an
initial underscore character (_)
•
style.sfl defines standard fields (many of which are commented out to limit
the size of the documents table)
•
style.ufl defines custom fields that are not included in style.sfl
The value of each field can be filled in from source documents or can be provided
explicitly. If a field is blank, it has not been populated.
browse can be found in the ColdFusion bin directory:
•
cfusion\bin (Windows)
• opt/coldfusion/verity/<platform>/bin (UNIX), where <platform> is
_ssol26, _hpux11, or _ilnx21
For example:
c:\cfusion\bin\browse /common = c:\cfusion\verity\common
c:\new\parts\0000001.ddd
