Output information

Use to maintain parameters that are related to the index data that is created by the indexing program. Many of the parameters are based on the triggers, fields, and indexes that you added. For detailed information about the parameters, see the Indexing Reference.

Here are available parameters:

Max Pages in a Group: The maximum number of pages that the indexing program puts in a group. This parameter allows the indexing program to segment a large line data report and create indexes for each segment. Type a number between 1 and 9999.
Image Data: The format of the image data in the output file. Choose from As Is, which means that the image data in the output file is the same format as the input image data, and IOCA, which means that the indexing program converts the input image data to uncompressed IOCA format. IBM recommends that you always specify As Is.
Insert IMMs: Determines whether the indexing program inserts an IMM structured field before the first BPG structured field of every named page group. You should specify Yes, if the form definition names different overlays and multiple copy groups and switches between copy groups any place other than on a group boundary. The indexing program makes sure that an IMM is present within the named page group. However, the indexing program does not guarantee that the correct overlay is used, especially if the form definition uses enhanced n-up processing.
DCF Page Numbers: Determines whether the indexing program generates page names using an eight byte counter or uses structured field tokens found in the data stream.
Unique Group Names: Determines whether the indexing program creates a unique group name by appending an eight character numeric string to the group name. The default is Yes, if DCF Page Names is No. The default is No, if DCF Page Names is Yes. You should specify No, if you use the AFP API to generate group names. You should specify No, if the input is generated by DCF.
Find Index By Page: The page number by which point the indexing program must find an indexing field. The default value is 1 (page one of the report), and you can enter a number between 0 and 99. If 0 is specified, ACIF searches for the first group in the file until it finds one or until it finishes searching all of the pages in the file. The indexing program fails if it does not find an index on or before the specified page number.
Index Level: The level of index that the indexing program generates. By default, the indexing program generates Group indexes. If you specify All, then the indexing program generates group and page indexes. You must specify All for reports that require page indexes or Content Manager OnDemand large object support. To generate page indexes, the source data must be AFP or line data that you plan to convert to AFP with the indexing program. If you select the Large Object checkbox on the Load Information page, then Content Manager OnDemand automatically sets the Index Level to All.
Break Yes: Determines how the indexer starts a new document. If you specify AND, the multiple index parameters with BREAK=YES are all AND'ed together. All the index values must change for the current page to be considered the start of a new document. If you specify OR, the multiple index parameters with BREAK=YES are all OR'ed together. A change to any index value causes the current page to be considered the start of a new document.
Start Indexing On Page: Available for the 400 indexer only. Specify this parameter to skip pages that occur prior to the first document, for example, header pages or alignment pages. You can enter a value in the range of 1 to 99.
Start Triggers On Line: Available for the 400 indexer only. Specify this parameter to instruct the indexer to start looking for triggers from a certain line so that undesired matches to the trigger can be eliminated. You can enter a value in the range of 1 to 512.
Start Transaction Fields On Line: Available for the 400 indexer only. Specify this parameter to instruct the indexer to start looking for transaction fields from a certain line so that undesired matches to the transaction field can be eliminated. You can enter a value in the range of 1 to 512.
User Masks: A user mask can be used to match one of the field mask symbols. If the field data contains a character reserved for the field mask, you must define a user mask so that the indexing program can match data in the field. Another use of a user mask is to define a symbol to match one of a group of characters that might occur in a field. For example, you define the user mask symbol * (asterisk) and the string AaBbCc; the indexing program matches the field if it contains an upper or lower case A, B, or C. You can define up to four user masks. When defining user mask symbols, make sure that the character you define does not occur in the data. If it does, then the indexing program cannot match the character in the data.
