Verity issue

Hey all. I have been using the admin console to update the
vertiy collection. However I want to start using the tag.
Question for you is: I have added a few new documents to the
collection. I want the verity engine to see them. Before I would
recreate the collection in the admin console. Is this the correct
process for the tag also? Or would I use the cfindex tag? Or do I
use the cfcollection tag?
thanks.

Use <CFINDEX ACTION="update" ... > You only use the
CFCOLLECTION tag when you are creating a new collection.

ColdFusion 9 - Verity Issue

Hello. We recently upgraded to CF 9 Enterprise running on Windows Server 2008 64 bit. It is running well with an issue we cannot seem to trace down.
The server works great for a random period of time and then randomly we get this error:
"The collection you specified does not exists or is not registered with the ColdFusion Search Service."
If you login to the CF Admin you see the collection but for some reason it cannot be searched... or accessed. If you attempt to delete it, the admin throws an error stating the collection doesn't exist. What ends up happening is that we recreate it, and repopulate the index. It runs fine for a while and then happens all over again...
Our current work around was to use the old server these sites were operating off of and use a remote web service. It's not ideal but given that the old system (CF 8 Standard on Windows Server 2003 32bit) doesn't have the above issue it "patches" the problem while we investigate a fix.
Any input/help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Verity Issue - Clustered Servers

To summarize:
We have an interesting issue that I am attempting to create a
work around for. Our website exists in a clustered enviorment (3
servers), a development server, and a file server (mostly PDF's
Word docs, PPT's etc...). Each server re-indexes the Verity
collections nightly via scheduled task and the file server does as
well. Since we host our servers in a sercure external enviorment
there is no direct network connection between the clustered servers
and the file server. Our work around for this was, since our
development server can see both, we would:
1) Re-index nightly on the file server
2) Set a scheduled task on the dev server to copy the files
from the collection on the file server to the test enviorment
3) Use our source control to submit these copies to the
clustered servers via scheduled task.
Everything was working great until we upgraded the file
server to MX 7. The collection file structure has changed for
vertity in MX 7 and we cannot output the results on the search
pages. We do plan to upgrade all of our servers to MX 7 but it is
going to take a few months.
We are trying to come up with some ideas as how we can
integrate the results from the file server. (i.e CFHTTP) as we dump
the results from 3 collections into an array and then sort the
relevance.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jon

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

Verity issue after purging a collection

All,
I have recently discovered an issue with the way verity
provides suggestions when returning search results.
I have created a verity collection using verity spider. i
have registerd this collection in CFAdmin. I have successfully
searched against this collection and received 'suggestions' where
approriate.
So far so good.
However, when i re-run the spider (which purges the
collection then re-builds it) i no longer receive 'suggestions'
This issue is easily reproducable and consistently has
similar behavoir in that following the initial registering of the
collection it works but subsequent rebuilds of the collection
(which obviously don't need re-registering as the collection is
alreay registered) faiuls to provide suggestions
Am I missing something subtle here?

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

Verity issue - urgent

We are running Stellent 7.1.1 and verity 4.5 version
We have stage and production enviroment. The full text index works fine on the stage server but returns nothing on the production.
Metadata search like dDocTitle works on both servers.
Only difference between stage and production, production is configured to run verity as isolated process
eg:
/idcplg?IdcService=GET_SEARCH_RESULTS&QueryText=test&ftx=1&AdvSearch=True&ResultCount=20&SortField=dInDate&SortOrder=Desc
above query works on stage but not on Production server
eg:
idcplg?IdcService=GET_SEARCH_RESULTS&QueryText=dDocTitle+%3Csubstring%3E+%60test%60&ftx=&AdvSearch=True&ResultCount=20&SortField=dInDate&SortOrder=Desc
works on both servers
Thanks

Have you tried to rebuild the index on Production?

Verity Search Server Issues

Anyone else have this issue when trying to use cfsearch
against a
collection? If so, was there a fix? We installed the search
server when we
installed CF8 as a package install.
Message Unable to connect to the ColdFusion Search service.
Detail On Windows, you may need to start the ColdFusion
Search Server from
the services control panel.
On Unix, you may need to run the search startup script in the
ColdFusion bin
directory.
Error: java.io.IOException: unable to obtain from connection
pool: cannot
make connection to server at: k2://localhost:9951
I restarted the search server about 10 times and even tried
the uninstall
and install bat files. Nothing seems to work. Thanks

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.

Verity server license issue

Hi,
I have coldfusion/verity installation and everything is fine
after the installation. I ran the creation of verity collections
with no problem at all.
But after sometime, the "k2server.exe" won't run anymore. And
when I ran "k2server.exe" on the DOS prompt, it told me that I have
more CPU than that was licensed to verity. (I have two CPU's and
verity logs showed that it's binding only to a single CPU).Then
after that, verity "k2server.exe" will shutdown inself. When I
tried to re-install verity, "k2server.exe" ran properly again.
Any ideas what is really causing this problem. Im running
coldfusion/verity on windows 2003
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ahmed,
Just a thought :
can u check the number of servers appearing in system ----servers and system----cisco unified CM.

Verity / cfindex issues

I've been having problems working with collections on our
site. This has been happening frequently ever since we upgraded
from CFMX6 to CFMX7. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Happens for both PURGE and REFRESH. I am performing the CFINDEX
within a CFM file, and it deosn't matter if I run the program in a
browser or from ColdFusion scheduled tasks.
Here is the error message I usually get:
An error occurred while performing an operation in the Search
Engine library.
Error reading collection information:
com.verity.api.administration.ConfigurationException:
java.io.IOException: Read timed out
Here is another message that I have received:
An error occurred while performing an operation in the Search
Engine library.
Error switching collection offline:
com.verity.api.administration.ConfigurationException:
java.io.IOException: Read timed out

Thank you, Pondini, I appreciate the link also.

Verity Indexing issue

Hi All,
Can anyone help with this one. We're running CF5 (migrating
to 8 soon, so please don't chuckle). However when we come to
reindex our current collections, it takes a matter of seconds and
returns with no error. I've tried this through CF Administrator and
through CFINDEX code that has been running fine for over 4 years.
It now just doesn't seem to acknowledge there are any files to
index.
Just FYI, we have around 10,000 topics so nowhere near the
limit, we're also installed on Unix. I've been checking permissions
for the 'nobody' user and it looks fine, I'm not sure how it could
have changed without manual intervention anyway.
This is working in our development server, but in production
it's not.
Any thoughts?
Kind regards
Paul Pounder

Resolved.
FYI for future ref: Was around 100% space in /var/
Wish Coldfusion would have errored and let us know this
though. Hopefully 8 will be better.

Multiple versus a single collection search with Verity

I have a simple question about Verity search collection.
We have been using verity for a number of years, but we have
never done
any real performance testing in regards to a single
collection versus many.
All documentation and articles argue for multiple small
collections when
indexing for better indexing performance. But what is the
performance
hit when searching 2 collections instead of 1 combined
collection?
How about 4 collections instead of 1?
Thanks

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 and Clustered Coldfusion Servers

Hi All,
I am currently looking at using Verity with our clustered
coldfusion servers but seem to have an issue. We currently have
three coldfusion servers but the version of verity included with
coldfusion only allows a connection from one server.
Has anyone else been in the same situation where they need
more than one coldfusion server talking to the same verity server?
If so how did you solve this issue? ( We have looked at purchasing
the full version of verity but it is to expensive.)
Thanks
Paul

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?

Verity and WYSIWYG content return display

I have created a CMS using ColdFusion MX 7. I am having
issues with the returned display of the indexed database query. All
of the page styling and image code is contained in the in the
database so when the verity search is returned it returns all of
the html/css and image reference code that is contained in the
database field. Is there a way to strip all of the html/css and
image references out of the return results? Or is there a way to
strip them out before the database is ever indexed.

Either before you index or before you display, do the
following:
<cfset cleanText -
REreplace(dirtyText,'<[^>]*?>','','ALL') />
This will strip out any HTML taqgs.

Translating Google-style search strings to Verity

I've built a nice full-text search facility using Verity for
my application, but in these days of Google dominance, I'm afraid
few if any of my site's users are familiar with the now-peculiar
search-expression style employed by Verity. Instead, they're used
to being able to type a series of words separated by spaces and
expect it to treat spaces the way Verity treats AND expressions.
Likewise, they'll want to use quote marks around a phrase to
retrieve it in-tact. Etc, etc, etc.
I've searched for hours but can't find anything in public
where someone has done this. I suppose I could create a UDF that
carries out the task, but as I'm a master at neither tool's
expression sets, I fear it would take me days. Does anyone know of
such a UDF or tag, or at least concrete resources that might help
me in this task? Maybe just advice re the most basic conversions to
ensure my translator carries out?
Thanks in advance!

The real issues are performance and result set size.
If the query hits a large data volume, lots of I/O, lots of data transformation or processing... that could be quite slow. And way too slow to for a web user to wait for results.
If the results from the query is a 100,000 rows, what then? Streaming a 100,000 rows' results to the browser is usually not feasible. It needs to be formatted. It is very sizeable compared to what the average web page should be. Again a heavy performance impact.
Google does not search data. They search indexes (of indexes). On dedicated and clustered index servers.
When dealing with large result sets, they only plough into the first bit and give an estimate of how much there is still left.
The problem with many database web searches is that these two issues are ignored. Base tables are hit with full blown searches (lots of I/O, full table scans, massive index range scans, etc). Worse, they attempt to very accurately provide paging, stating exactly how many rows there are meeting the criteria.
This results in a massive performance impact and a web system that simply cannot scale when data volumes increase, or complex search criteria is used.
My advice is:
- make very good use of indexing, partitioning, materialised views, and so on to reduce I/O for a query to a minimum
- do not attempt to do accurate page counts (especially not when tables are dynamic)
