I have been using Verity on a couple websites and have been pretty pleased thus far.
However, I recently encountered a problem when trying to index a large directory.
(This is the Verity that comes with CF4.5 - not the new CF5 version).
I have a directory with 5740 files in it - all Microsoft Word 97 documents. When I
create a new collection and use CFINDEX to index the documents, it doesn't add all
5740 documents and it isn't even consistent. Sometimes it will add 5728, 5732, 5735,
5736 - never all 5740.
I'm using the following CFINDEX code:
<cfindex collection="pnpworking2"
action="update"
type="path"
key="e:\inetpub\wwwroot\websitename\documents\pnp\working\"
extensions=".doc,.xls,.ppt,.pdf">
I'm confirming the number of files added, by searching for a keyword and outputting
#search.RECORDSSEARCHED#.
I have also tried using the CF Administrator to index the directory and get the SAME
results.
If I start with a new collection and use CFDIRECTORY to get a listing of the files in
the directory and then loop over them one by one adding them to the collection using
CFINDEX and type=file, the server times out before finishing - I've let it run for 30
minutes.
In other places I use Verity, I don't have more than 1000 files in a single directory,
and I do not have this problem.
Questions:
1. Is there a limit to the number of files Verity can index in a single directory?
2. Maybe all the files are getting indexed, but the .RECORDSSEARCHED is incorrect?
3. I considered that it may be an issue where Verity can't access a document if its
in use by another process, but I made a copy of the directory and moved it somewhere
else on the server and am still having the same problem. Are there other possible
services that could access these files (preventing Verity from indexing them) I need
to be aware of?
(Platform NT4Sp6a/IIS4/CF4.5.1SP2)
Thanks for any help you can provide,
