Bulk submit options
The mkvdk utility provides a variety of bulk submit options, as described in the following table:
Using bulk insert and delete options
The bulk submit feature supports the insertion of documents and related field values into
collections.
To use the bulk submit feature to populate fields:
1. Define the fields in the style.sfl and style.ufl file, as appropriate.
2. Create a bulk submit file that specifies the documents to insert and the field values for each
document.
3. Run the mkvdk utility using the -bulk option and specifying the bulk submit file or files.
-nosave
Specifies that a work list, which is generated by the mkvdk utility automatically
when you use the
-extract option, will not be saved in the collection directory in
a file called worklist (in the Verity bulk submit file format). By default, the mkvdk
utility saves the worklist in the worklist file.
-nosubmit
Specifies that a work list, which is generated by the mkvdk utility automatically
when you use the
-extract option, will not be submitted to the indexing engine
and will be saved in the collection directory in a file called worklist (in the Verity
bulk submit file format). This option allows the mkvdk utility to process field
extraction separately from other indexing tasks.
Option Description
-bulk
Interprets filespec as a bulk submit file. You can use this option with the -insert,

files. If you specify multiple bulk insert or delete files and use the
