Core options

The following sections describe the Verity Spider core options.

-cmdfile

Syntax: -cmdfile path_and_filename

Specifies that Verity Spider reads command-line syntax from a file, in addition to the options passed in the command-line. This option includes the pathname to the file that contains the command-line syntax. The -cmdfile option circumvents command-line length limits.

The syntax for the command-file is:

option optional_parameters

For better readability, put each option and any parameters on a single line. Verity Spider can properly parse the lines.

Note: Macromedia strongly recommends that you take advantage of the abstraction offered by this option. This can greatly reduce user error in erroneously including or omitting options in subsequent indexing jobs.

-collection

Specifies the full path to the collection to create or update.

Note: You receive an error if you specify a filename with an extension of CLM. Meta collections are not supported.

-help

Displays Verity Spider syntax options.

-jobpath

Syntax: -jobpath path

Specifies the location of the Verity Spider databases and the indexing job-related files and directories.

The following are the job-related directories and their contents:

log All Verity Spider log files. For descriptions of the log files, see -loglevel.

bif Bulk insert files.

temp Web pages cached for indexing. You can also specify the temp directory using the
-temp option.

These directories are created for you under the last directory specified in path.

Path values must be unique for all indexing jobs. If you do not use the -jobpath option, Verity Spider creates a /spider/job directory within the collection. For multiple-collection tasks, the first collection specified is used.

Note: You cannot use multiple job paths for multiple simultaneous indexing tasks for the same collection. Only one indexing task at a time can run for a given collection.

-style

Syntax: -style path

Specifies the path to the style files to use when creating a new collection.

If the -style option is not specified, Verity Spider uses the default style files in cf_root/lib/common/style.

Note: You can safely omit the -style option when resubmitting an indexing job, as the style information will already be part of the collection. If you are using the -cmdfile option, you can leave it there.

The default style files on my Jrun based MX 7 system appear to be housed in JRun4\verity\k2\common\style, not as described here.

You are correct. That is a bug in the docs. It should describe different paths for server and multiserver configuration.
