Using the Verity rcvdk utility
Using the Verity rcvdk utility, you can check the contents of a collection from the command line.
The rcvdk utility lets you write a variety of queries, using words and phrases separated by commas
and Verity query language. A viewing option lets you see document contents and highlights in a
simple text display.
The rcvdk executable is located in the cf_root\lib\_nti40\bin directory in Windows, and in the
cf_root/lib/platform/bin directory on UNIX.
In these pathnames, cf_root refers to the ColdFusion MX root directory. In Windows, this is
typically C:\CFusionMX; on UNIX, this is typically /opt/coldfusionmx. On UNIX, platform
refers to the UNIX version of the server that runs ColdFusion: _solaris, _hpux11, or _ilnx21.
To start the rcvdk utility on most systems, type the path and executable name at a command
prompt. The following examples assume you have set your PATH variable, so you just have to
enter
rcvdk at a command prompt to run it.
For example:
c:\cfusionmx\lib\platform\bin\rcvdk /common = c:\cfusionmx\lib\common
When you start the rcvdk utility with no arguments, you get the following message, followed by
the rcvdk prompt:
Type ‘help’ for a list of commands.
