Generating index data in the Generic indexer format

Content Manager OnDemand provides the Generic indexer so that you can create index data for files that cannot be indexed using other methods, such as the 400 indexer.

For example, you can create an index file in the Generic indexer format that describes a set of input files that contain data in the TIFF image format. The index file contains the index fields and values for each file that you want to process. The index file also describes where the Content Manager OnDemand data loading process can find documents within a file. Content Manager OnDemand will create a row in the database for each index record contained in the index file. Users can search the database using any combination of the index fields that were defined in the index file. The IBM® Content Manager OnDemand Indexing Reference describes the Generic index file format.
