Public Properties

 NameDescription
Public propertyMaxCollectionsThe maximum number of collections that can be created in this index area. If this number is exceeded, the server sets the IndexArea.ResourceStatus property to "closed", and for this same site and object store, changes to "open" the ResourceStatus value of the first index area found having a ResourceStatus value of "standby".
Public propertyRootDirectoryPathThe fully qualified path to the root directory for this storage area. The path can be a local mount point, a local path, or a UNC path.

The following information is specific to the use of VerityIndexArea.RootDirectoryPath:

  • If the value of
     Copy Code
    VerityIndexArea.TempDirectoryPath
    is not null, the value for the this property can be a local directory on the Verity server.
  • If multiple Verity servers are used for the same index area, and the value of this property is local to the Verity server, each Verity server for the index area must be on the same machine.
  • When multiple Verity index areas are defined in an object store, each index area can have the same value for this property; however, the directories may be located on different machines (depending on the location of the Verity servers).
Public propertySearchServersToAttachThe number of servers from the listing in the VerityIndexArea.VeritySearchServers property that will be attached to a newly created collection. The servers chosen will be those with the fewest collections already attached to them.
Public propertyTempDirectoryPathAssigns the directory to be used for storing temporary indexing files. The directory must be available to both the Content Engine and Verity servers, and can be a directory share, a local mount point, a UNC, or a local path.

Note: If this is a local path, the Verity server must be located on the same machine as the Content Engine server, and there cannot be multiple Content Engine servers.

Public propertyTemplateTypeContains the Verity style file alias name that identifies the Verity style files used for indexing data. The style files control the format of indexed data (using exception word lists, for example).
Public propertyVerityCollectionsThe set of VerityCollection objects associated with this index area. Each Verity collection is a member of only one index area.
Public propertyVerityIndexServersThe names of all Verity index servers associated with the Verity administration server specified in the VerityMasterAdminServerHostname property. This list of index servers is returned by Verity.
Public propertyVeritySearchServersThe names of all Verity (search) servers associated with the Verity administration server specified in the VerityMasterAdminServerHostname property. This list of index servers is returned by Verity.
