To remove ClusterCATS members (or to move them to other clusters) use the btadmin utility with the -reset parameter. Windows users can use the admin utility to do this (click Advanced to access the reset option). (Applies to: ColdFusion 5 Enterprise)
In order to ensure administrative access to ClusterCATS clusters at all times, it is advisable to establish a dedicated IP address specifically for maintenance. To do this servers must have at least two IP addresses. (Applies to: ColdFusion 5 Enterprise)
DNS problems are a primary cause of ClusterCATS cluster failure. To analyze DNS and IP settings, and to troubleshoot problems at the DNS level, use the btcfgchk utility. (Applies to: ColdFusion 5 Enterprise)
If you are trying to diagnose problems with ClusterCATS clusters you may find these two included utilities useful: hostinfo displays information about DNS domains and hosts, and sniff displays network traffic packets. (Applies to: ColdFusion 5 Enterprise)
ColdFusion 5 Enterprise features software based clustering using the integrated ClusterCATS technologies. ClusterCATS clusters are usually managed and administered using an interactive utility, but for automated or script driven management and administration use the included btadmin command line...
The Verity K2 server is a high performance indexing engine that is included with ColdFusion 5, and can be used via the standard tag (and related tags). But K2 is not up and running by default, you need to set it up manually. Doing this involves three steps: 1) editing the k2server.ini file to...
Need to import large blocks of data quickly into a Verity collection (without looping through one item at a time)? The command line mkvdk utility (in the ColdFusion bin directory) supports an optional -bulk parameter which can be used to pass a file containing data to be inserted (as well as...
The Verity rcvdk utility (in the ColdFusion bin directory) can be used to perform command line searches against a Verity collection. But if you are using the K2 engine (included with ColdFusion 5 or later) you'll need to use the rck2 command line utility instead. (Applies to: ColdFusion 5 or later)
Verity indexes data and stores those indexes in collections. To view a list of all indexed words, as well as the total number of documents in which that word appears (along with other information) use the didump utility (in the ColdFusion bin directory). (Applies to: ColdFusion 4 or later)
The Verity browse utility (in the ColdFusion bin directory) can be used to browse or step through the fields stored within a Verity collection. Browse is a command line menu driven utility that can be used to browse internal, standard, and even custom data fields. (Applies to: ColdFusion 4 or later)
