Hi,
we are trying to walk a section of our site but are getting the following error message:
Abandoning new walk. Cannot generate test query: No usable terms in index xh_TiDsKyMtBy_ViMoDpPp.

Any ideas why this is happening? we are able to walk the same section on a different server.
thanks.
Niamh

Compare your walk settings for the 2 walks. Apparently this one found no useful text on any of the pages it crawled.

The walk settings are identical. The pages are simple HTML pages, nothing fancy (no javascript). Everything worked fine until we changed the server. On the browser everything works fine. Webinator works fine as well, except for this section, the reason for which we don't understand, this section being absolutely simple in structure. The only message generated to vortex.log by this walk is:
100 2007-05-01 13:54:11 D:\appls\MORPH3\texis\scripts/webinator/dowalk:2285: User PUBLIC has been added without a password.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Sam

Need to take a close look at the walk status. If this is a walk that ever walked before it may be difficult to see the failure. If that's the case create a new profile and do one new walk with verbosity at 4. Then look at the full walk status to see how many pages it got etc.

You can examine the abandoned database (it's full path is mentioned in the walk status) from the command line (msdos prompt) using texis
cd c:\appls\morph3
texis -d /full/path/to/db1or2 -s -c "select * from html"
