Locale options

The following sections describe the Verity Spider locale options.

-charmap

Syntax: -charmap name

Specifies the character map to use. Valid values are 8859 or 850. The default value is 8859.

-common

Specifies the path to the Verity home directory, cf_root/lib/common.

Note: This option is typically not needed, as long as the PATH environment variable is set correctly.

-datefmt

Syntax: -datefmt format

Specifies the Verity import date format to use. Valid values are MDY, DMY, YMD, USA and EUR. The default value is MDY. (For descriptions of these values, see "Date format options".)

-language

Syntax: -language name

Specifies the Verity locale to use in indexing. This option is being replaced by the semantically consistent the -locale option, and is still supported for backwards compatibility.

-locale

Syntax: -locale name

Specifies the Verity locale to use in indexing, such as German (deutsch) or French (français). The default is English (english). This option is identical to the -language option.

-msgdb

Syntax: -msgdb path

Specifies the path to the ind.msg message database file.

If Verity Spider was installed properly, this option should be unnecessary. By default, the ind.msg message database file is read from the following directory:

cf_root/lib/platform/bin

Where platform represents the platform directory.
