Report data processing

The example shows how to use the graphical indexer to process a sample report and create indexing information. The graphical indexer is part of the Content Manager OnDemand server and is a program that runs on a Windows workstation. The report in this example was generated on a z/OS® system and transferred to the PC as a binary file, and then loaded into the graphical indexer.

The sample data used to create the indexing information must match the actual data to be indexed and loaded into the database. When you load a report into the system, Content Manager OnDemand uses the indexing parameters, options, and data values that are stored with the Content Manager OnDemand application to index the data. If the data being loaded does not match the data that you used to generate indexing parameters with the graphical indexer, Content Manager OnDemand might not index the data properly. For example, Content Manager OnDemand might not be able to locate triggers, indexes, and fields or extract the correct index values.
