Question on 'URL File'

[kai.tallafus]

Hi!

Wie have a very large list of urls of dynamic pages (press releases, initially approx. 4000-5000 URL).

I´ve got this URL File indexed properly in the first run. The problem is that due to the large amount of urls we don´t want to index the whole list again every day. The solution would be (after the initial walk) to write only the new press release urls into the text file (approx. 5 urls per day) and do a rewalk type "refresh", so that the index of the first walk is kept and the new urls are added.
But this doesn´t work

Is there a way to do this? Please help!! It´s very urgent...

Best Regards

If you're specifying all of the pages that need to be added you should be using page file instead of url file.
Then just add the desired urls to the file and run dowalk by hand (see http://www.thunderstone.com/texis/site/ ... ing+dowalk ) and use the "singles" entry point.

Thank you for the answer!

Just to make things more clear for me:

- I should switch to "Page File" instead of "URL File"
- add ALL (the 4000-5000) urls to the Page File and then run the Initial Walk (Rewalk type "New" in webinterface)
- for every new url(s): clear the page file, add the new url(s) and run the dowalk by hand with the "singles" entry point

The command line would look similar to this:
C:\Inetpub\scripts>texis.exe -r profile="egov_pm_l1" "F:\Program Files\Thunderstone Software\Webinator\texis\scripts/Webinator/dowalk\singles.txt"

Is that what you want me to do?

Btw. what is the "-r" switch in the commandline?

Thanks again for your help!

Sounds good except don't clear the page file. Just append new things to it.

-r means run the script. See the vortex manual http://www.thunderstone.com/site/vortexman/node203.html
