150 Chapter 12: Troubleshooting Collections with Verity Utilities
Using the Verity didump utility
Using the didump utility, you can view key components of the word index per partition. The
word list is a list of all words indexed by the Verity engine. The zone list is a list of all zones and
the zone attribute list is a list of the zone attributes found by the Verity engine.
The didump executable, which starts the didump application, is located in the
cf_root\lib\_nti40\bin directory in Windows, and 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.
For example:
c:\cfusionmx\lib\platform\bin\didump /common = c:\cfusionmx\verity\common
-pattern llama
c:\new\parts\00000001.did
Viewing the word list with the didump utility
You can view the contents of the word list for a partition by using the didump utility with the
-words flag. The command-line syntax must include the -words flag and a pathname to a
partition file, like the following:
didump -words /z/collbldg/html/parts/00000003.did
An alphabetical listing of the words in the word index displays, as follows:
didump - Verity, Inc. Version 2.5.0 (_nti31, Jul 7 1999)
Text Size Doc Word
A 10 3 4
a 34 5 24
abbreviations 4 1 1
about 4 1 1
acronym 5 1 2
acronyms 4 1 1
actual 4 1 1
administrator 3 1 1
advance 3 1 1
all 8 2 3
also 9 2 4
Always 4 1 1
always 9 2 3
ampersand 4 1 1
The columns in the display indicate the following:
• Size The number of bytes used by the Verity engine to store information about the word
• Doc The number of unique documents in which the word appears
• Word The total number of occurrences of a word for the partition
To view the occurrences of a specific word or pattern, enter a command using the
-pattern
option, as in the following example:
didump -pattern acronym 00000003.did
In this example, the didump utility displays information about the number of occurrences of the
word acronym. You can display the individual occurrences of a word using the
-verbose option.
