CF8 Verity Collection Problem

I am running the test code shown below.
The result is:

When I use the CLI rcvdk program, the collection works fine
and I can search against the collection.

You're searching the "southernrefecontent" collection here,
not
testcontent (unless you anonymized the name before sending).

CF8 Verity K2 server excessive memory

I can see this is an old post, but it still appears to be
relavent today even with CF8. My understanding is that CF8 is using
Verity K2 5.5 (same as CF7). I am able to take up a massive amount
of system memory just by simply adding collections without even
indexing them. I noticed this problem when we started getting ready
deploy several of our home grown CMS products onto our development
server and I noticed that a large chunck of memory was being taken
up.
So, I decided simply to see what the server would do if I
just started adding a bunch of empty verity collections. The memory
taken up by just 60 collections was over 1G. I tried to take it to
120 collections, but verity kept crashing (out of memory errors).
I read in this post (
Verity
Not Working in CF MX 7) that it was possible to seperate out
the verity server from the CF server, so I have been attempting to
do just that. Rob Rush provides a good informational link in that
post. So far I have been unsuccessful. I have followed that
instructions in the CF documentation and from the technote and it
seems like I have the two servers communicating, but when I go to
perform an index, it fails.
If anyone has successfully seperated the servers, it would be
of great interested and help to me if you can shed any light on
this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried just re-installing the CF8
Search server, but it still didn't work so I uninstalled it and
then reinstalled it. After that I was able to create the new
collections and finally, re-index the new collections. All seems
well for now. I have four more systems to recreate the collections
for and then re-index all of them.
This whole thing begs the questions:
1. How long is this installation going to survive?
2. Is this an indication of a very fragile product?
3. Are you and I the only ones having problems?
4. Are you and I the only ones using CF8 Verity?
5. Is Adobe aware of any problems with CF8 Verity?
6. Is there something wrong with my code that has worked
successfully with CF4, CF5 & CF6 now that I'm using CF8?
I’m sure there are other questions that should be asked
but I’m too tired and hungry to think about them right now.
Thanks again for your insight.

CF7 Verity collection not compatible on CF6.1?

Hi,
Does anyone know if CF7 Verity collections are supposed to be
back-compatible with CF6.1?
My Internet site is 7 but Intranet is 6.1. This upgrade has
just happened recently, and since Intranet searches over Internet
collection
crashes server (JRUN restarts). That's what I am pinning it
down to anyway, coz nothing else has changed that I know of.
We have a cron job that copies our Internet collection down
to the Intranet nightly. We copy the collect over so that staff can
search over bother Internet/Intranet in one search, rather than
separately (as they often don't know which site a particular
document is on).
Our Intranet search app uses the same code as Internet
(different servers, but same script) so the problem can't be
that...
Anyone else have this problem? Know any work arounds?
I am thinking of setting up some sort of web service on
Internet that hopefully my Intranet can tap into (my luck there
will be firewall issues).
I can create two separate searches - Intranet only and
Internet only (which can forward staff to Internet site) but as I
said, they would not to search over the two sites...
Thanks in advance for any help!

Here's a patch which fixes the problem:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19339
This question was asked a dozen times before.
Everybody seeking support for this problem missed there's a
patch and no one bothered to tell there's a patch...

Verity collection keep disappearing

i have CF MX7 and i do have a verity collection it keep
disappearing some time....i am wondering is this a bug or am i
missing somthing.....please help..thanks..

I am having a similar problem but only with the UNI language
pack. It is indexing fine with the English or Englishx packs. It
also worked fine until we updated to the latest patches (7.0
worked, 7.02 does not)
I'd posted the following in the 'getting started' section but
maybe it should be here instead.
I have two verify collections. The English collection is
working ok. The French collection using the 'uni' multilanguage
does not index using the Cold Fusion code, and if I try to index it
on the server directly, I wait and wait and eventually it will give
me a page not found.
When I was at 7.0, this index worked fine. Now after
upgrading to 7.02, I cannot create the index.
I have tried deleting the collection and starting over but I
get the same problem.
This is the code that had been working:
<CFLOCK NAME="CFINDEXSEILOCK" TYPE="exclusive"
TIMEOUT="90">
<CFINDEX ACTION="refresh" COLLECTION="sei"
KEY="E:\UTEWebsite\Francais\" TYPE="path" URLPATH="
http://www.ute-sei.org/Francais/"
EXTENSIONS=".htm, .html, .cfm, .pdf, .doc" RECURSE="yes"
language="uni">
</CFLOCK>
Any thoughts?

CF8 Verity Indexing

I've been using Verity to build collection of data from my
database systems for several years now using CF5 and CF6.1. I
recently upgraded my system to CF8. While searching these
collections is 5 to 6 times faster, indexing these collections is
SIGNIFICANTLY slower.
My system has some 50+ screens that I use to collect and
store data into either MSAccess or SQL Sever databases. There are
26 different collections that I use to store this data in. After
the data from each screen is stored in the datbase, I then update
the pertinent collection based upon the screen and database
table(s) where the data is being stored. The collections are a
compromise between number of screens and tables. This enables users
to always be searching the most current data. Every night we run a
scheduled task to rebuild all of the collections because this
continual add/dropping of data during the day chops up the Verity
collections.
I noticed two thing after creating the new CF8 collections:
Indexings is 2 to 3 times slower that it was in CF8. Searching is 5
to 6 time faster than it was. I'm wondering two things at this
point:
1. Is this a common experience amoung CF6 to CF8 users?
2. Is there some different technique that you have to use to
index collections using CF8 that will improve the indexing speed?
Thank you in advance for your insight in this matter.
Len

No work can be performed by our development group without a complete analysis, project scope, project plan and project budget is developed. I wish I could simple pull CF9 into the shop or the Solr download but that is not possible unless all the technical aspects are provide ahead of time and submitted for approval in the form of a project plan.
I presume you have a computer at home? Why don't use use that? That's what I'm doing, to test your code!
Or do you stop being a developer at 5pm?
Thank you for offering to test Solr for me, it is appreciated.
Attached is a form we use provided by the IRS. When running CFINDEX and then CFSEARCH the document does not appear on the search results.
Thanks for your help.
NP, but there was nothing attached.
Oh, and sorry to take so long to reply... Xmas and all that bullsh!t got in the way.

CF8 verity and acrobat 9.0 errors

we have an issue where the CF8 verity engine is not indexing
PDF files created with acrobat 9.0
the same PDF files generated with acrobat 8.1 work fine.
the acrobat 9.0 PDF files generate these errr messages in the
verity logs
Tue Jan 13 14:44:44 2009
msg(1): Warn E0-1514 (Drvr): TstrIOFilter:flt_kv: KV failed
on filtering document: error = 8
Tue Jan 13 14:44:44 2009
msg(1): Warn E2-0527 (Document Index): Document 3
(d:\developers\MRC\wesinfo\version2\admin\test\wespress_testing\docs\Stark4_acrobat_9_vie w_7.pdf):
Stream error (-140) - SKIPPING
are there a new set of filters available for verity, so that
it can index acrobat 9.0 files ?
also, we found that while cf8 verity can index word 2007
.docx files, it does not pickup the Title metatag.

I have figured it out....
Adobe Acrobat v8 saves PDFs in v5 (1.4) format by default. Adobe Acrobat v9 saves PDFs in v7 (1.6) format by default.
ColdFusions CFINDEX doesn't like PFDs saved in v6 (1.5) or higher. So if you upgrade to Adobe Acrobat v9 and want to use the PDFs in a CF verity search you need to configure Distiller to save in v5 (or earlier) format so they can be indexed. (Or just resave the files to be optimised for v5 after they have been created.)
My solution was to configure the application to do a CFFILE READ on the PDF when a user uploads the document into the system. The first 8 characters of the file contents indicate the PDF version. v4 and v5 will work. v6+ won't work.
<cfif Mid(fileContents, 6, 3) lte 1.4>

<cfelseif Mid(fileContents, 6, 3) gt 1.4>

</cfif>
Hope this comes in handy for someone one day!

Verity Search Problem

I'm having trouble with my verity search results page.
Some of the document titles are missing, the score is fine, its just the title that seems random.
Can anyone help?
My code is below:

<strong>What would you like to search for? </strong>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="?area=documentresults">
<p>
    <input name="criteria" type="text" id="criteria">

not 100% sure but i think you want unicode encodings not the
"language" ones as
i think those are codepages. and i also don't think you want
utf-16, utf-8 is a
better choice w/cf.

11g Grid Control - Host Configuration Collection Problems

Hi Guys,
I just installed Oracle 11g Grid Control and it has been running for 2 weeks until I recently tried to walk through the parts of it.
My intention was to clear off all the error messages, critical warnings, alerts, and policy warnings.
When I arrived at the development summary box, on the home tab, I can see that there is 1 collection problem.
When I clicked it, I saw that apparently the problem is with the host where I installed the grid control.
Problem type: Warning during collection of Oracle Software
message: Unknown WLS Home Location or WLS Version in Middleware Home /u01/app/oracle/product/middleware
I tried clicking on the "Refresh Host" button, but it didn't solve the problem at all.
I have also tried to take a look at the targets.xml however it seems the configuration in there are already pointing to the correct path to the weblogic home.
Please let me know if anyone has a suggestion for this.
Searching from google doesn't really return anything closely matched to this.
Thanks,
Adhika

What is the intent/timeline for fixing this bug? On MOS, it appears to have a status of "Status 33 - Suspended, Req'd Info not Avail". We are encountering this bug also and I would glady provide information from our systems in order for the issue to be resolved.
Thanks.
PostScript: FWIW, Google yielded a blog referencing this error and Doc ID 1433113.1. I am unable to access that document (as was the blogger). Because of this, and another major caveat (our machines with this collection error do not have WLS installed on them), I'm thinking this probably needs to be an SR rather than a forum discussion.

Verity Collection Errors in CF9

Hello,
We are trying to create verity collections in CF9 and have successfully done so in the past. For some reason we are now getting errors and have not been able to find a resolution. Here are the errors:
Error E0-0720 (I/O Filter): Could not load filter 'flt_kv -recognize -bifmime' which is named in your style.uni file.
Warn E2-0527 (Document Index): Document 1 (140128011): Stream error (-2) - SKIPPING
We can see in the debug info that verity is reading the database because the read record counts seem to be correct. We have played with file permissions, deleted the collections, uninstalled/re-installed Verity, still to no avail.
Coldfusion 9
CentOS 6
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
Best regards,
Shannon

Seems you installed apache server into the same $ORACLE_HOME as oracle DB home. It's pretty weird since there are many subdirectories (and files inside them) in both servers with same names that interfere (conflict) with each other, such as assistants, bin, diagnostics, install, inventory, jdbc, jdk, jlib, ldap, lib, network, nls, opmn, etc. Therefore, whichever server software was installed first, it was badly overwritten by the second. For instance:
"Cannot load /u01/app/oracle/11g/ohs/modules/mod_onsint.so into server: /u01/app/oracle/11g/lib/libons.so: undefined symbol: _intel_fast_memcpy"
Note that there are two /lib/libons.so shared files - one shipped with apache server and one shipped with oracle server, and they differ. You obviously have only one libons.so (which one?) in the /u01/app/oracle/11g/lib/ that is now shared by both servers.
Reinstall 11g and apache again. Apache server must go into its own home, different from oracle DB home. My installation is as follows:
ORACLE_HOME for database: /opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1
ORACLE_HOME for apache: /opt/oracle/product/10.1.3.3/OracleAS_1

Verity Collection dropped during scheduled task.

I have a verity collection that I have scheduled to refresh every night at 2am. Over the past week, when it is scheduled to kick off, it is dropped from the "Verity Collections" window and in the error report, it states that the collection in question does not exist.
I've gone back to the directory on the server and the said collection folder is still there, but does not show in the "Verity Collections" in CF Admin.
I've created another "version" of the collection and manually kicked off the task and the collection does refresh. When the scheduled task kicks off again at the 2am mark, the same error happens again and the colection does not show in the Verity Collections window.
Any ideas?
Thanks
DarrellA

I'll restate this in simpler fashion.
Can you retrieve MX 7 verity search results on a MX 6.1
server?
Can this be done via CFHTTP or any other similar method?
Thanks

Copying Verity Collection

Since my shared hosting provider has the timeout set so low I
can't index my verity collection of pdf files before it times out.
So, I'm told I can index it locally, then FTP the
index/collection up to my site at the hosting provider.
But when I do this, the "url" variable in my search results
is messed up - actually reflects the absolute path on my local
machine!?
Is there a best practice way of copying a verity collection?
OR, an efficient way to index pdf files - I only have 118 of
them.
Thanks.

You can index locally on your machine and then upload the
collection and the files to your hosting, but the directory
structure (drive, folders, etc) must be the same in you local
machine and in your hosting provider for the files being indexed,
if not it won't work.
regards

Error when updating a verity collection

Does anyone know what this error means? Happens when updating
a verity collection.....
Error Code: File locking/unlocking error
[VdkError_FileLocking]. (-146)
Thanks, Joe

I was able to reproduce this issue in the beta also. The issue has since been fixed. For the time being, it looks like you can just clear (delete) that particular value and re-add it w/ the updated binary.

Verity Index problem

Hi folks. I am trying to populate a verity collection from a
query but having no luck as best I can tell from the searchs that
come back null. So I created a collection, and can see it's there
using <cfcollection action="list"> And then I setup my query
as I need using:
<cfquery datasource="#DS#" name="getAbs">
select * from Abstracts
</cfquery>
and then define a new query with the key field (tmpkey)
defined to the path & file name I need:
<cfset qryTmp =
querynew("tmpkey,filename,title,author,year,affiliation")>
<cfoutput query="getAbs">
<cfset tmp = queryaddrow(qryTmp)>
<cfset tmp =
querysetcell(qryTmp,"tmpkey","e:\web\sctweb\abstracts\" &
#year# & "\" & #filename#)>
<cfset tmp = querysetcell(qryTmp,"filename",filename)>
<cfset tmp = querysetcell(qryTmp,"title",title)>
<cfset tmp = querysetcell(qryTmp,"author",author)>
<cfset tmp =
querysetcell(qryTmp,"affiliation",affiliation)>
</cfoutput>
If I CFDUMP TMPQRY everything looks great, all the fields
just as I want them. The I use CFINDEX to index my query like so:
<cfindex collection="sctabstracts"
query="qryTmp"
action="refresh"
type="file"
key="tmpkey"
>
But after that, I can't seem to return any results when I
search. Ideas?
Thanks
S

Thanks Sam, I've tried that as well and havn't had any luck.
Refresh is supposed to purge and then update so it seems like it
should work but.....
Thanks again though

Backup/archive/export verity collection

Does anyone know how to backup/archive/export a verity

The CF Help files say to go to admin/server settings/archives
but this is not an option in my version of CFMX.
Anyone?? thank you so much.

Problems connecting to verity collection creation form

1. Am running CF MX7. Am following directions in CF
documentation to create a form by which a user can create a CF
Collection for a Verity search. I'm having several problems.
2. I created a form and an action page, that it's suggested
that I put in the MyApps directory in the cf_root. Well, Since I'm
running IIS, I don't have a MyApps folder or a cf_root folder, the
root folder of the default Website, is wwwroot/. And I've created a
MyApps folder and put both pages in the folder.
3. It suggests that to access the Create Collection form, one
should type
http://Hostname:Port/myapps/name
of file.cfm
So I've tried many purmutations of that. I continue to get a
Page not found error. No CF errors, just a page not found error.
4. One other item may be affecting this problem, but I don't
know how to get around it. The Home page of the site is in a
subfolder of the wwwroot folder as apposed to being dumped directly
into the wwwroot folder.
Can anyone assist me? WCW

Thanks, I did do that, and also changed the URL I was using
to access the Create Collection form. I am running IIS, also, my
Website root folder is not actually inside the wwwroot or Inet Pub.
But the Home Page is set to the actual location of the Website
folder. So, the MyApps folder is inside the root folder of the
Website, even though it's in a different location.
Don't understand why you need a port number. And what port
number would that be anyway? If I put port 80, which is the port of
the Web site, hit enter, it just disappears when the browser
resolves the address. Don't really need it.
Anyway, I can get to the creation form, create a collection,
and have written pages to index the collection.
Now my problem is that the results I get when executing a
search is a list of Paths, not URLs. Very strange. Don't know if
I'm filling out the form wrong or whether my coding is wrong, but
Search results should NOT show the PATH to the page, but the URL.
Does anyone recognize this incorrect result? Any idea of what
I could be doing wrong? If so, I could really use some assistance.
Thanks, WCW
