After defining the view information, triggers, fields,
and indexes, complete the indexing information for the phone bill
report by setting values in the Indexer Properties dialog box.
This is a central place to maintain information about
the format of the input data, the resources required to index the
data, the index output file, and the optional user-written programs
that can be used to process input, output, and index records and resources.
Some of the parameter values are based on the choices that you make
on the View Information page.
To set indexer properties:
-
Click the Data Format tab.
The line data input should be loaded into the system as AFP™ data,
set Data Conversion to Yes. The administrative client automatically
changes the Data Type to AFP on the View Information page.
The file format and carriage control areas retain the original settings
on the View Information page.
-
Specify the name of a form definition and page definition
and click the Resource Information tab.
The input data will be converted to AFP, and
you must specify values on this page. For the sample phone bill report,
ACIF should collect form definitions, overlays, and page segments.
Check the appropriate boxes in the Resource File Contents area.
-
In the Search Paths area, identify where ACIF can find
the resources. Enter the names of the directories where the resources
reside.
-
Click OK to save the changes and
return to the report window.
-
Close the report window.
-
When prompted, click Yes to save
your changes and return to the Indexer Information page.
