150 Chapter 10: Using Verity Utilities
Collection maintenance options
The mkvdk utility provides a variety of collection maintenance options, as described in the
following table:
Examples: maintaining collections
The following examples show the commands for maintaining a collection.
Repairing a collection
The following command automatically repairs a collection, or enables it after manual repairs:
mkvdk -repair -collection path
Backing up a collection
The following command backs up a collection to the specified directory:
mkvdk -backup path_1 -collection path_2
Option Description
-backup dir
Backs up the collection into the specified directory. The backup does not
include the tde subdirectory. The tde subdirectory is created by and for Topic
Document Entry if Topic Document Entry is used to create or maintain the
collection.
-repair
Repairs the collection, performed by an API call.
-purge
Waits the amount of time specified by the -purgewait option and then deletes
all documents in the collection, but not the collection itself. It leaves the
collection directory structure intact.
To specify a different wait period, use the
-purgewait option instead of the
-purge option. If you do not use the -purgewait option, the default is 600
seconds.
-purgeback
Used with the -purge option, performs a purge in the background.
-purgewait sec
Specifies to the -purge option how many seconds to wait. If you do not specify
sec, the default is 600.
-noservice
Prevents collection servicing, which includes indexing, by this instance of the
mkvdk command, performed by an API call.
-persist
Services the collection repeatedly, at default intervals of 30 seconds. Use the
-sleeptime option to set a different interval.
-sleeptime sec
Specifies the interval between service calls when the mkvdk utility is run with
the
-persist option.
-optimize spec
Performs various optimizations on the collection, depending on the value of
spec. The specifier, spec, is a string consisting of keywords separated by
hyphens, such as maxmerge-squeeze-readonly. For valid keywords, see
“Optimization keywords” on page 151.
-noexit
Windows only. Causes the I/O window to remain after the program is finished.
By default, the window closes and the program exits, so that scripts calling the
mkvdk utility do not hang.
