Is there any documentation on how serve-db-document.tcgi works? I have indexed a DB and mapped the resulting XML fields to classes in xml.cfg. My search results show these links:

displayUrl: "local://serve-db-document.tcgi?collection=localdb&record_id=101000030195",
liveUrl: "/search/serve-db-document.tcgi?collection=localdb&record_id=101000030195",

My understanding is that the serve-db-document.tcgi should take template.xsl and run that against the search result. I have created an xsl file which just dumps out the entire XML (copy-of select="/") but not sure how to pass the result to the tcgi script to do the conversion. Does anyone have any examples or documentaiton?

I think what needs to be done is to change the live link to the cache link, adding something like 

if ( transaction.response != null
  && transaction.response.resultPacket != null) {
    transaction.response.resultPacket.results.each() {
        if (it.liveUrl =~ /serve-(directory|db)-document\.tcgi/) {
            it.liveUrl =  it.cacheUrl
        }
    }
}

to the post_datafetch_hook.groovy groovy hook script should achieve that.

Then you can use https://docs.funnelback.com/15.12/develop/key-programs-and-scripts/cache-controller.html#xml-and-xsl1 to setup the XSLT to what you want. Before messing with XSLT you may want to check that cache copies are working by clicking the cache copy link. The page you go to should be the XML document of your DB record.

Hi Jon,

This is a bug in Funnelback that's currently in the bug tracking system. .tcgi links were part of classic UI which was removed from Funnelback some time ago, but the links in database and directory collections were not updated accordingly.

Please see this article on how to update the links to return the cache version:

And please see this on how to use XSLT transforms with your cache version:
https://docs.funnelback.com/15.12/develop/key-programs-and-scripts/cache-controller.html#xml-and-xsl1

cheers,
Peter

thanks both - so that updated my liveURL to be the same as my cache URL but it also contains the tcgi links:

liveUrl: "/s/cache?collection=localdb&doc=funnelback-filecopy.warc&off=91765&len=547&url=local%3A%2F%2Fserve-db-document.tcgi%3Fcollection%3Dlocaldb%26record_id%3D101000030194&profile=defaultpreview",
summary: "",
cacheUrl: "/s/cache?collection=localdb&doc=funnelback-filecopy.warc&off=91765&len=547&url=local%3A%2F%2Fserve-db-document.tcgi%3Fcollection%3Dlocaldb%26record_id%3D101000030194&profile=defaultpreview",

I managed to get it working however! thanks for your help.
