Repository Fields-Database fields that contain the meta-data in a repository. Typically, repository fields are the actual database column names, DBMS attributes, etc. Repository fields cannot be read by Verity. Repository fields can be mapped to external fields.
External Fields-Database fields that can be read by Verity to perform some functions. External fields can be displayed in a results list or used in a document view composition via the
style.dft
file.Internal Fields-Database fields that can be read by Verity without accessing the gateway to perform all field-related functions. Internal fields can be displayed in a results list or used in a document view composition via the
style.dft
file. Unlike external fields, internal fields can be used to perform field searches and results list sorting.
The configuration files for both the indexing gateway and the HTTP gateway for viewing must be in the style directory used. The sample style directories for the Notes and the Exchange gateway each have these configuration files defined. All gateways defined for a particular gateway implementation are defined in DataSource sections of the
style.vgw
file. If a gateway happens to be defined at the top of a style.vgw
file, it is treated as if it were defined in a distinct DataSource section.
