About Verity Spider syntax 111
Efficient DNS lookups
Verity Spider minimizes DNS lookups, which means great improvements to spidering
throughput. If spidering is limited by domain or host, then no DNS lookups are made on hosts
that fall outside of that range. In earlier versions, DNS lookups were made on all candidate URLs.
Proxy handling efficiency
To allow for greater flexibility when dealing with indexing jobs that involve proxy servers and
firewalls, use the following options:
-noproxy To reduce proxy checking for certain hosts
-proxyauth To authenticate on proxy servers
About Verity Spider syntax
Before you create an indexing task for a new collection, make copies of the relevant default style
files to ensure that you have a set of template style files in a known, stable state.
Running multiple simultaneous Verity Spider jobs can cause performance problems for searches.
This does not mean that you should never run indexing jobs when users might be searching,
because your collections are available for searching even while indexing jobs are running. To
optimize performance, try staggering your indexing jobs to avoid overloading your server.
The Verity Spider command
The vspider executable file, which starts the Verity Spider utility, is located in the platform /bin
directory, as follows:
Server and multiserver configuration The vspider.exe (Window) or vspider (UNIX) file is
located in cf_root /verity/k2/ platform /bin (server configuration) or
jrun_root /verity/k2/ platform /bin (multiserver configuration) where platform is _nti40 for
Windows, _solaris for Solaris, or _ilnx21 for Linux.
J2EE configuration The vspider.exe (Window) or vspider (UNIX) file is located in
verity_root /k2/ platform /bin where platform is _nti40 for Windows, _solaris for Solaris, or _ilnx21
for Linux.
At its most basic level, a Verity Spider command consists of the following:
vspider -initialize -collection coll [options]
Where
-initialize
is
-start
or
-refresh
(when starting points have changed), and
-collection
is required to provide a target for the Verity Spider, and
[options]
can be a near-
limitless combination of the options described later in this chapter.
For example:
c:\cfusionmx7\verity\k2\_nti40\bin\vspider -common
c:\cfusionmx7\verity\k2\common
-collection c:\new -start http://localhost -indinclude *
