Indexing Topic Sets

The Verity Spider is no longer able to directly index topic sets against a collection, as the -topicset option has been discontinued as of Verity Spider V3.6. This was done to consolidate collection maintenance in utilities outside of Verity Spider itself. This allows for updates to the utilities independent of Verity Spider.

Instead, the collection utility mktopics can be used to index a topic set against a collection.

: vspider -collection icd.coll options
: mktopics -topicset topicset_dir -collection icd.coll

Keep in mind that whenever you run a Verity Spider job against this collection to update it, you should always run a corresponding mktopics job to ensure that your topic set is indexed against all new and updated documents added to the collection.

For more information on topics, see the Verity Collection Building Guide.
