Many thanks for passing this on - it has been extremely helpful. We can now
search shared collections.
However, following the procedure below works for getting existing
collections moved to a shared location, but as soon as you try to re-index
them once they're on the shared server, we get the same errors as before
whenever CFINDEX is called. This means the procedure will not work for
Spectra sites at all (e.g. cfa_metadataindexall fails).
Does anybody have any clarification as to how we can get machines to write
as well as read shared collections? I.e. what exactly is involved in:
" > You should designate one machine as the Verity updating machine."
Thanks,
-Tristan.
