Maintaining Web Publishing Data

Maintaining Web Publishing Data
Web Publisher maintains multiple sets of data about the documents that are in
the web publishing collection. When all web publishing data is synchronized,
each file in the chosen document directory has a record in the web publishing
collection and every property record in the collection has a corresponding file
in the document directory.
Although you can limit the scope of the Repair and Report functions to
checking only the files in a particular document directory for collection records,
every property record in the collection is checked for a corresponding source
document regardless of which directory the file might be in.
Occasionally, these can become out of sync. You can obtain a report on the
state of your web publishing files, and then repair one or more directories as
needed. For example, if a document that was indexed into a collection is
deleted, there is a record in the collection that no longer has any corresponding
source document. Repairing removes the collection records for any such
document.
You can perform these functions to maintain your web publishing data:
• Report on the collection's data—You can produce a report on the

current logical consistency of the web publishing collection's data. This lists
all the files in the selected document directory and also lists all the records
in the web publishing collection, regardless of which directory the
collection data corresponds to. The report indicates which files are not yet
indexed (and therefore don't have records in the web publishing collection)
and which records have no source document (and therefore should be
repaired). The report highlights errors and indicates what the result of the
repair would be. For example, "Repair will delete Properties Record."
The report provides a short summary at the end of the log file, indicating
how many directories and files have been checked, how many repairs are
recommended, and how many errors have been encountered.

directory and produces a report similar to that from the Report function.
The Repair function indicates on the report which repairs have been
completed and what the repair accomplished. For example, "Repair:
Removing Properties Record."
