Bulk submit options

The mkvdk utility provides a variety of bulk submit options, as described in the following table:

Using bulk insert and delete options

The bulk submit feature supports the insertion of documents and related field values into 
collections. 

To use the bulk submit feature to populate fields:

1.

Define the fields in the style.sfl and style.ufl file, as appropriate.

2.

Create a bulk submit file that specifies the documents to insert and the field values for each 
document.

3.

Run the mkvdk utility using the 

-bulk

 option and specifying the bulk submit file or files.

-nosave

Specifies that a work list, which is generated by the mkvdk utility automatically 
when you use the 

-extract

 option, will not be saved in the collection directory in 

a file called worklist (in the Verity bulk submit file format). By default, the mkvdk 
utility saves the worklist in the worklist file.

-nosubmit

Specifies that a work list, which is generated by the mkvdk utility automatically 
when you use the 

-extract

 option, will not be submitted to the indexing engine 

and will be saved in the collection directory in a file called worklist (in the Verity 
bulk submit file format). This option allows the mkvdk utility to process field 
extraction separately from other indexing tasks.
