I can't comment on the scheduled task part. I've avoided them since they didn't work reliably in CF 4.0.
The only other thing that I heard is that you should UPDATE a collection rather than refresh it. Refreshing is typically a bad thing to do for several reasons. Updating is much less processor intensive, takes less time, and has less of a chance of corrupting if a search is performed at the same time. If you update you must OPTIMIZE regularly to compress your updates and index. The other thing that you should do in CF4.5 is to put a cflock around your cfindex. again, if your action is update, this isn't too much of a problem. If you refresh, obviously a cflock would lock your searches for too long.

We are using cf4.5 and have a scheduled task to loop over a recordset containing what indexes should be updated. It was suppose to run every morning. I suspected this was fowling it up so discontinued running the scheduled task. However, the collection would still fail. Seemed the only solution was to stop and restart CF then the collections and search capability would work fine until the next morning when the search engine would fail and my email box filled up with complaints. So, by changing the scheduled task from daily to only once, would this make CF stop running the scheduled task? Thanks for your insight.

In CF4.5 and under, the Verity implementation had a very hard time with simulateneous updates and searches of a collection. The collection could get corrupted and the only solution was to kill the collection and recreate and reindex it from scratch. CF5 has fixed these problems (using either the VDK or the k2 solution, it doesnt matter). Hope it all works out.

Then I have to re-start cold fusion before it will recognize these collections have been deleted. Hope that helps. Thanks for any help/light you might be able to shed. Tom -----Original Message----- From: Schreck, Tom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 8:48 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Verity Search Hello all- I'm getting some weird activity concerning a verity search I've set up against a database table. I get the following error message. I proceed to delete the collection, re-create it and re-index the targeted data and the search works for awhile then I get this error message again. This pattern has been going on for several days now. I thought maybe a scheduled task to re-index the collection might be fowling it up, but I turned the schedule task off but that did not end this pattern. Any ideas?
