Hi Andrzej,

Thanks for the reply. Regarding the outlink limit - I thought it was a limit of 100 outlinks per page by default? And in these cases the first 100 outlinks are stored. I have a few pages like this in the crawl database. The problem I'm having is the outlink object is empty for a some pages when on previous days the outlink object wasn't empty and contained outlinks.

At the moment I'm using the following code in my FOR loop while reading the segment to make sure that I ignore pages that couldn't be fetched and pages that could not be parsed....

if(fetcherOutput.getStatus() != FetcherOutput.SUCCESS)
{
   continue;
}

I've also checked the status of a couple of pages whose outlinks are missing and they all appear to have a SUCCESS status.

Regards,
Karen

Hello Karen,

Outlinks should be stored in the segment, so that's the right place to look for them.

One common source of missing outlinks is if you hit a maximum number of outlinks limit - but this is set to 100 by default. Another common issue is if the content parser catches an exception, then you will get a positive status for fetch, but an error in parsing, hence no outlinks. Could you use the "segread" command on these two records, and check the status both for the fetch and the parsing stages?
