Notes

The ADD function will fail unless the Database Organization for the application group named with the -g parameter is Multiple Loads per Database Table and the Expiration Type is Segment or Document.

The ADD function can be run without providing an input document from a file or by retrieving an existing document from the system. This means that you can add database field values without adding a document. To add database field values without adding a document, do not specify the -o, -i, -l, -q, -t, or -T parameters; specify the database field names and their values using one or more -n parameters.

The ARSDOC program can issue an informational message that provides the server version number. When you run the ARSDOC GET function, messages can also be included that provide the number of documents that were queried and retrieved, and a status message for each document that is retrieved. To enable these messages, specify the -v parameter for verbose mode which displays all messages (information and error). If you do not specify the -v parameter, the ARSDOC program displays only error messages.

For the purpose of retrieving a document from a Content Manager OnDemand server (with the intention of reloading or loading the data into another Content Manager OnDemand server, ARSDOC GET must be used to retrieve reports, as opposed to the ARSADMIN RETRIEVE and DECOMPRESS.

You can use ARSDOC GET with a load ID by specifying the -X parameter, for example

arsdoc get ...... -X <loadid>.

Use the load ID as it appears in the system log, for example

-X  5547-4-0-2FAA-20170313000000-20170313000000-5548

You can also specify the -g parameter to produce a generic index file. Alternatively, the documents retrieved can be re-indexed.
