Using the Verity rcvdk utility

Using the Verity rcvdk utility, you can check the contents of a collection from the command line. The rcvdk utility lets you write a variety of queries, using words and phrases separated by commas and Verity query language. A viewing option lets you see document contents and highlights in a simple text display.

The rcvdk executable is located in the cf_root\lib\_nti40\bin directory in Windows, and in the cf_root/lib/platform/bin directory in UNIX.

In these pathnames, cf_root refers to the ColdFusion root directory. In Windows, this is typically C:\CFusionMX; in UNIX, this is typically /opt/coldfusionmx. In UNIX, platform refers to the UNIX version of the server that runs ColdFusion: _solaris, _hpux11, or _ilnx21.

To start the rcvdk utility on most systems, type the path and executable name at a command prompt. The following examples assume you have set your PATH variable, so you just have to enter rcvdk at a command prompt to run it.

For example:

c:\cfusionmx\lib\platform\bin\rcvdk /common = c:\cfusionmx\lib\common

When you start the rcvdk utility with no arguments, you get the following message, followed by the rcvdk prompt:

Type 'help' for a list of commands.

The help command produces the following list of available commands:
