Description

The ARSLOAD program is a IBM® Content Manager OnDemand data indexing and loading program. The ARSLOAD program calls the indexing program if the input data needs to be indexed, creates input files for the storage manager, and updates the Content Manager OnDemand database. The ARSLOAD program saves processing messages in the system log. You can open the System Log folder and list the messages that were generated when an input file was processed.

You typically configure the ARSLOAD program to run as a monitor to periodically check specified IFS directories for input files to process.

The ARSLOAD program can use the following sources for input files to process:
  • one or more file systems specified with one or more -d parameters,
  • one or more load file names.
If you omit the load file name, the ARSLOAD program will run in monitor mode and attempt to load input data from the directories that are specified by the -d parameter. If you omit the load file name and do not specify the monitor mode parameter (-d), the ARSLOAD program will issue a usage note and exit.
Important: When running the ARSLOAD program in monitor mode, the .ARD or .PDF file name extensions are required to initiate a load process.
When you run the ARSLOAD program, you must provide the user ID of a Content Manager OnDemand user with administrator authority for the application group into which the input data will be loaded. There are several ways that you can provide the user ID:
  • Do not specify the -u parameter. In this case, the current user profile of the job that is running ARSLOAD is used as the Content Manager OnDemand user ID. This is the recommended method.
  • Use the -u parameter each time that you run the ARSLOAD program.
  • Use the stash file.
