Using the mkvdk utility 145
General processing options
The mkvdk utility provides a variety of general processing options, which the following table
describes:
Option Description
-collection path
Specifies the path of the collection to create or open. This option is required to
execute the mkvdk utility.
-nolock
Turns off file locking. Locking is on by default.
-synch
Performs work immediately. If this option is not used, indexing work is done in
the background, as time permits.
-about
Shows information about the collection, such as its description and the date
when it was last modified.
-datapath path
Specifies the datapath to use to find documents that are added to the specified
collection. All relative document paths are relative to this setting. If you do not set
this option, the mkvdk utility looks for documents next to the collection directory.
-topicset path
Creates a topic index for the collection, based on the specified topic set, and
stores it in the collection directory. This facilitates quick and efficient searches
over the collection data when using topics.
-mode mode
Sets the indexing mode. Values are case-insensitive. The following are the valid
settings:
• Generic
• FastSearch
• NewsfeedIdx
• NewsfeedOpt
• BulkLoad
• ReadOnly
• Any custom mode defined in the style.plc file.
The default is Generic mode.
-common
Specifies the path of the Verity common directory. If you do not use this option,
the Verity engine looks for the common directory in the directory containing the
mkvdk executable, and then along the executable search path. The executable
search path is determined by your operating system environment settings. It is
the path used by the OS to find the programs you run.
-help
Displays the mkvdk utility syntax options.
-debug
Runs the mkvdk command in debugging mode.
-nooptimize
Prevents optimization by this instance of the mkvdk utility. Using this option
turns off the service-level VdkServiceType_Optimize. The service types
determine the type of work the Verity engine and its self-administration features
will execute on a collection.
-nohousekeep
Prevents housekeeping by this instance of the mkvdk utility. Housekeeping
includes deleting files that are no longer needed. Using this option turns off the
service-level VdkServiceType_DBA. (Service types are described under
-nooptimize.)
