To summarize:
We have an interesting issue that I am attempting to create a
work around for. Our website exists in a clustered enviorment (3
servers), a development server, and a file server (mostly PDF's
Word docs, PPT's etc...). Each server re-indexes the Verity
collections nightly via scheduled task and the file server does as
well. Since we host our servers in a sercure external enviorment
there is no direct network connection between the clustered servers
and the file server. Our work around for this was, since our
development server can see both, we would:
1) Re-index nightly on the file server
2) Set a scheduled task on the dev server to copy the files
from the collection on the file server to the test enviorment
3) Use our source control to submit these copies to the
clustered servers via scheduled task.
Everything was working great until we upgraded the file
server to MX 7. The collection file structure has changed for
vertity in MX 7 and we cannot output the results on the search
pages. We do plan to upgrade all of our servers to MX 7 but it is
going to take a few months.
We are trying to come up with some ideas as how we can
integrate the results from the file server. (i.e CFHTTP) as we dump
the results from 3 collections into an array and then sort the
relevance.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jon
