Once you have created a new thesaurus, it should be placed in the appropriate directory for use.
.syd
file (like English), then you must move the default .syd
file from the /language
directory or rename the file. It is recommended that you move the default .syd
file to a safe location rather than removing the file permanently. Only one .syd
file can be present in the /language
directory at a time..syd
file to the /language
directory located in:
verity
/prdname
/k2/common/language
/
verity/prdname
is the user-definable portion of the installation path, and language
represents the language directory, for example /english
for the English locale.NOTE: The thesaurus
.syd
file must be renamed with the appropriate filename for use. The appropriate filename is:
vdk
nnsyd.syd
where nn indicates the working version of VDK.
WARNING! All application processes including user searches must be terminated before you remove or change the contents of the
common
directory or any of its subdirectories. The new thesaurus will be used when the application is started or restarted.
.syd
File. A sample map file looks like:
- $control
- kbases:
- {
- kb: "Thesaurus"
- /kb-path = "vdknn.syd"
- }
Point to this map file either through the client in a local context, or through the server configuration file in a remote context.
Note that no thesaurus operator is necessary in queries using a Knowledge Base Map. The query works like a topic, so any word in the thesaurus that you enter will automatically map to its synonym list.
