The
format of the data as it is stored in Content Manager OnDemand. Select from AFP, Line,
BMP, GIF, JFIF (JPEG), Line, Metacode, PCX, PDF, PNG, SCS, SCS-Extended,
TIFF, User Defined, XML, and Global DJDE. None is a special data type,
reserved for Content Manager OnDemand system
applications.
Note:
SCS-Extended should not be selected on a Content Manager OnDemand for Multiplatforms or z/OS
server unless the data is being indexed and loaded from an IBM® i server to a Content Manager OnDemand for Multiplatforms or z/OS
server.
SCS should not be selected on a Content Manager OnDemand for Multiplatforms or z/OS
server unless the data is being indexed and loaded from an IBM i server to a Content Manager OnDemand for Multiplatforms or z/OS
server.
Global DJDE is available on z/OS only.
Paper Size
For AFP and SCS-Extended, determines the paper size (dimensions)
that Content Manager OnDemand uses to view
and print pages. If you select Autosize, then Content Manager OnDemand client programs display
pages based on information contained in the data. If the data contains
no internal definition for the page size, then Content Manager OnDemand displays the page at 8.5
x 11 inches. If the report contains pages of varying sizes and the
data contains information that describes the size of a page, select
Autosize. The Content Manager OnDemand client
programs display each page according to the information in the data.
Orientation
For AFP, BMP, GIF, JFIF (JPEG), PCX, PDF, PNG, TIFF, and SCS-Extended,
determines the alignment of report data on the display. That is, the
direction that the Content Manager OnDemand client
program displays pages of the report. Choose from 0, 90, 180, or 270
degree orientation.
Code Page
For Line, SCS, and Global DJDE, determines the code page used
by the client to display the data. For Line, the default value is
500. For SCS, the default value is the code page of the server. However,
you can type any valid code page. For example, code page 850 is typically
used to display an ASCII line data report. Code page 500 is typically
used to display an EBCDIC line data report. For all other types of
data, Content Manager OnDemand derives the
code page from the data. For example, for AFP, information in the
data stream determines the code page; AFP supports multiple code pages
in the same document.
Line Count
For Line and Global DJDE, determines when page breaks occur. A
page break occurs the line after the number you specify. For example,
if you type 58 in the Line Count field, then a new page begins with
line 59. The valid range of values is 1 (one) to 9999. Note that page
breaks also occur if the input data contains Skip to Channel One carriage
control characters.
File Extension
If the Data Type is User Defined, then type the file extension that identifies the type of the
file to the client operating system. The client operating system settings
determine the program started when the user opens a file with the extension that
you specify. The file extension can be from one to twenty characters. Some
examples of file extensions are DOCX for a Microsoft Word document and PPTX for a
Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.
RECFM
(Record Format) For Line and Global DJDE, determines the record
format of the data. Choose from Fixed,
Variable, or Stream. Note: For IBM i, RECFM is valid only
for line data and the value is set to Variable and cannot be changed.
LRECL
(Logical Record Length) If the RECFM is Fixed, specify the LRECL.
Delimiter
If the RECFM is Stream, the delimiter determines the character
or set of characters that separate records in the data stream. Type
the ASCII or hexadecimal character(s) that delimit the records, for
example, 0A. or 0D0A. Input data from Windows operating systems typically
contains two-character line delimiters.
CC
(Carriage Control) If the line data contains carriage control
characters, then set CC to Yes and choose a CC Type. A carriage control
character is usually the first character of an output record (line)
in the input data. For example, a carriage control character can determine
how many lines should be skipped before the next line is displayed
or printed. Note:IBM i does
not use the CC option.
CC Type
If the line data contains carriage control characters, determines
the type of carriage control characters. Choose from ANSI and Machine.
Note:IBM i does
not use the CC Type option.
TRC
(Table Reference Character) Determines whether the line data contains
table reference characters. If the input data contains TRCs, you must
set TRC to Yes, even though Content Manager OnDemand does
not use the TRCs. A table reference character is usually the second
character of an output record (line) in the input data. The application
program that generated the input data might produce output that uses
different fonts on different lines of the data. The fonts can be controlled
by specifying table reference characters at the beginning of each
line after the carriage control character. The table reference character
contains a value (0 -- 126) that is used to select a font to display
or print the line. Note:IBM i does not use the TRC
option.
PRMode
(Processing Mode) For Line, SCS, and Global DJDE, if the data
contains shift-out and shift-in codes, determines how Content Manager OnDemand handles them. Shift-out
codes (x'0E') and shift-in codes (x'0F') indicate when the code points
in a record change from single byte to double byte and double byte
to single byte. Choose from None,
SOSI1, SOSI2,
and SOSI3.
Update Indexer Parameters
Determines whether Content Manager OnDemand coordinates
the indexing information on the View Information page with the information
specified in the Indexer Parameters window. By default, the information
matches and if you change a value in one place, then Content Manager OnDemand automatically changes the
value in the other place. If you need to maintain different information
on the View Information page than the Indexer Parameters, then you
must first clear the Update Indexer Parameters checkbox.
Several of the viewing parameters have corresponding
indexer parameters, because both sets contain parameters that describe
the physical characteristics of the data. For convenience, when one
or more of the common viewing parameters change, the corresponding
indexer parameters are changed. If one or more of the common indexer
parameters change, the corresponding viewing parameters are changed.
