Sample programs and other sample files

Location: [...]\IxiaSoft\TextmlServer[version]\SDK\.

  • Sample documents: news stories coded in XML. You can use them to build a sample document base (docbase) that this documentation calls the SampleNewsDocbase.
  • A sample Index Definition document (indexdefinition.xml) for the SampleNewsDocbase You can use it to index the SampleNewsDocbase.
  • Sample programs. You can run them against the SampleNewsDocbase and your own docbases.
  • Sample queries. They return documents and other data from the SampleNewsDocbase and other document bases. You can run them with the sample programs and also with TEXTML Console.
  • Scripts named run*.bat, located with the sample programs. They use the samples programs, etc. mentioned above.

    You can use these scripts to quickly create and populate the SampleNewsDocbase, and then to run queries. They also demonstrate the command lines required to run the sample programs.

Note: The documentation for TEXTML SDK frequently refers to the SampleNewsDocbase and these samples.
