E Managing Traits at the Console
286
An ftsindex attribute can be any value from 0-49. All directories default to index 0. The
ftsindex attribute is independent of the indexed attribute and determines which FTS index
base is used for the data in the queue with that ftsindex value.
For example, to separate index bases, use these commands:
dbtraits wires ftsindex 1
dbtraits archive.2008 ftsindex 2
dbtraits archive.2009 ftsindex 3
n
The command list d-i displays the index base used by a directory. When the index base is
changed, the directory is automatically removed from its current base and added to the new
one.
While FTS handles the separation of the index bases, there is only one ftsindex device on the
iNEWS Server, and there is only one ftsidx.exe program on the FTS server.
Interplay Attribute
Interplay servers can be assigned to individual directories using the dbtraits command or the
Directory/Queue Properties dialog box. All directories default to Interplay 0.
For example, to assign individual directories, use these commands:
dbtraits show.sports interplay 1
dbtraits show.weather interplay 2
n
The command list d-i <directory> displays the Interplay server associated with the
directory.
Managing Group Traits at the Console
There are four primary group traits used to apply groups to queues and directories in the
database: Read, Write, Editorial, and Notify.
The list d-v console command lists each queue’s assigned groups. These groups restrict who
can read, write, or delete stories in the queue and indicate who is notified when stories
change in the queue. Each group is explained individually in the following sections.
To list group information for a queue at the console, use:
list d-g <queue name>
