Options

The following is a two-column table that lists the options or arguments in the first column with a brief description of the corresponding option in the second column. The following options are supported:

-A

Do not use schema aliases in config/schema.rdm file in the default search directory. Use with the I subcommand.

-S

Disable schema checking. Use with the I subcommand.

-T

Operate on the taxonomy. The taxonomy is used for browsing and classifying the database contents and is in config/taxonomy.rdm file in the default search directory. Use with O, X, I, E, B, U, and L subcommands.

-D

Update the database only; do not update the index. Use with E and X subcommands.

-V

Update the index only; do not update the database. Use with E and X subcommands.

-N

The function you specified in the command works only on the non-persistent data in the resource description. RDs in the database are a merge of persistent and non-persistent data. Use with I, E, U, and L commands.

-P

The function you specified in the command works only on the persistent data in the resource description. RDs in the database are a merge of persistent and non-persistent data. Use with I, E, U, and L subcommands.

-a att, att...

Specifies attribute view list. The att names are not case sensitive and can be any attribute whether or not they are defined in the schema; for example, author or title. If you have a multi-valued att like class-1, class-2, and class-3, only enter class as the att name.

-b number

Set the indexing batch size to this number of RDs. Use with the I subcommand.

-c search.conf

Specify where the search.conf file is. If you do not use this option, the default is the config/search.conf file in the default search directory. Other wise, you have to give the full path to the file.

-j number

Limits the number of retrieved results. Use with the E subcommand. If not stated, the default value is unlimited.

-l number

Set log level to number. A setting of 1 (default) logs all the rdmgr commands. The higher the number the more detail the logfile contains. The possible levels are 1- 100. This works with all subcommands.

-p {stdout|stderr| filename)

Prints or displays progress to stdout, stderr, or filename. This works with all subcommands.

-r number

Use with the progress option. A report is generated every number of RDs. The default is 500. Use with the u, m, g, d, and U subcommands.

-s schema

Specifies the schema definition file. The default is the config/schema.rdm file in the default search directory.

-y dbname

Specifies the search database name. If you are running this command on any database other than the default one, you need to use this option. You do not need to use this option for the default database. The default database is the database defined in the config/search.conf file labeled datbase-name=filename.
