Migrating a Thesaurus File
To upgrade a thesaurus .syd
file built with the Verity Developer Kit (VDK) V2.7, follow these instructions.
NOTE: You do not need to do anything to use thesaurus .syd
files created with the Verity Developer Kit V3.x or V4.0.x.
- 1. Use the mksyd comamnd-line tool to create a control file from the existing VDK V2.7 thesaurus file
- mksyd -dump -syd <vdknn.syd> -f <xxxxxx.ctl>
- where vdknn is the version of the thesaurus file that you want to use, and xxxxxx is the name of the output control file (with the extension
.ctl
).
- 2. Optionally update and edit the control file according to the information provided in the "The Thesaurus Control File" section in Appendix F, "Custom Thesaurus."
- If you do not need to make any changes, you can use the new
.syd
files as they are.
