Debugging & Logging section 27
For more information about building search interfaces, see the chapters about the cfindex,
cfsearch, and cfcollection tags in Developing ColdFusion MX Applications.
ColdFusion lets you manage your collections from the Administrator. You can index, repair,
optimize, purge, or delete Verity collections that are connected to ColdFusion. You use the
buttons along the bottom of the Connected Verity Collections table to perform the following
actions:
Note: Before performing management operations, ensure that the K2 Server is not using the
collections. For more information, see “Administering Verity” on page 83.
Verity K2 Server page
For faster searching, configure a K2 Server in the ColdFusion MX Administrator. The high-
performance K2 Server caches collection information so that your searches retrieve documents
more quickly. The Verity K2 Server delivers rapid search results in a highly efficient and scalable
architecture.
For more information on configuring and using K2 Server with ColdFusion, see
“Administering
Verity” on page 83
.
Web Services page
You can use web services to produce and consume remote application functionality over the
Internet. The ColdFusion MX Administrator lets you register web services so that you do not
have to specify the entire Web Services Description Language (WSDL) URL when you reference
the web service. The first time you reference a web service, ColdFusion MX automatically
registers it in the Administrator.
When you register a web service, you can shorten your code and change a web service’s URL
without editing your code. For more information, see Developing ColdFusion MX Applications.
Debugging & Logging section
You use the Debugging Settings and Debugging IPs pages of the Administrator to configure
ColdFusion MX to provide debugging information for every application page requested by a
browser. You specify debugging preferences using the pages as follows:
• On the Debugging Settings page, select debugging output options. If debugging is enabled, the
output appears in block format after normal page output.
• On the Debugging IPs page, restrict access to debugging output. If a debugging option is
enabled, debugging output is visible to all users by default.
Action Description
Index Analyzes the files in a collection and assembles metadata and pointers to the files.
Repair Re-indexes a collection to fix broken links and update indexes.
Optimize Reclaims space left by deleted and changed files by consolidating collection indexes
for faster searching. You should optimize collections regularly.
Purge Deletes all documents in a collection, but not the collection itself. Leaves the collection
directory structure intact.
Delete Deletes a collection.
