Processing index data

The index data is processed by the ADDRPTOND command before the index data is added to the database. The ADDRPTOND command extracts information from the application group and the application and performs the following processing:

• Determines the database field information from the application group.
• Determines the preprocessing information from the application, if needed.
• After preprocessing the index file, the ADDRPTOND command creates the database rows:
  • One row for every group of indexed pages in a report that contains a sorted transaction value
  • One row for every indexed item in a report that contains logical items, such as policies and statements
• Determines the postprocessing information from the Postprocessor Parameters that are specified on the Load Information tab of the application. For example, the load process may need to look up additional index values. You specify exactly what processing you want the command to do when you define the application
• Passes the index rows to the database manager. The rows consist of fields that contain the index values that the indexing program extracted from the report and other fields generated by IBM® Content Manager OnDemand. An index row contains:
  • One column for each field defined in the application group
  • One or more columns of Content Manager OnDemand control information
