General processing options

The mkvdk utility provides a variety of general processing options, which the following table
describes:
Option
-collection path
-nolock
-synch
-about
-datapath path
-topicset path
-mode mode
-common
-help
-debug
-nooptimize
-nohousekeep
Description
Specifies the path of the collection to create or open. This option is required
to execute the mkvdk utility.
Turns off file locking. Locking is on by default.
Performs work immediately. If this option is not used, indexing work is done in
the background, as time permits.
Shows information about the collection, such as its description and the date
when it was last modified.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Displays the mkvdk utility syntax options.
Runs the mkvdk command in debugging mode.
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.
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
.)
