# DREMODIFYTERMWEIGHT

Allows you to add a custom file to define the weights for terms in your index.

You can use this action to define a standard set of term weights for each child server in a distributed architecture, to ensure consistent weightings.

When you use a custom weight file, IDOL Server uses these custom weights in all queries and actions the use the term information (such as `TermGetInfo`). However, you can also override the custom term weight file in an individual query to use the default index weights.

You can use the KeepExisting parameter to specify whether you want to update the existing file (the default), or overwrite it. If you set KeepExisting to `False` and do not set Filename, IDOL Server deletes the custom term weight file, and uses the default term weights in the index.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:9071/DREMODIFYTERMWEIGHT?Filename=C:\IDOL\Weights\customweights.xml

This example updates IDOL Server with the term weights defined in the file `customweights.xml`.
