Verity Information Storage; About K2 Server - MACROMEDIA COLDFUSION MX 61 - CONFIGURING AND ADMINISTERING COLDFUSION MX Manual

Verity information storage

All Verity configuration data and collection name registration information are stored in an XML
file (neo-verity.xml), which is used solely by the ColdFusion server. This XML file, which is
located in cf_root/lib, contains two collection lists. One list contains collections that are registered
with ColdFusion MX; ColdFusion MX uses the VDK mode to search these collections. The
second list contains collections that are registered with K2 Server; ColdFusion MX uses the K2
mode to search these collections. You do not need to edit this XML file.
ColdFusion MX updates neo-verity.xml whenever one of the following occurs:
•
ColdFusion starts.
•
You change Verity or K2 information in the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
•
You change the list of registered collections in the
•
ColdFusion stops.
Before ColdFusion updates neo-verity.xml, it copies the file, using the BAK extension.
Tip: If the neo-verity.xml and neo-verity.bak files become damaged, use the neo-verity.org file. This
file is a valid neo-verity.xml file that has not been modified since you installed ColdFusion MX.

a high-performance, distributed system. The K2 search system has a client/server model. K2
client applications, such as ColdFusion server, provide users access to document indexes stored in
Verity collections. K2 Server supports simultaneous indexing of distributed enterprise repositories
and handles hundreds of concurrent queries and users. You will see considerable performance
improvements when using K2 Server to search Verity collections.
The K2 search system takes advantage of the latest advances in hardware and software technology,
and provides the following features:
•
Multithreaded architecture
•
Support for Verity knowledge retrieval features, including topics
