Large object

The indexing program generates a large object by dividing very large documents into smaller parts and defining the indexing information that is used to retrieve the documents.

When your users work with large objects, they should be able to retrieve documents faster with less impact on the network. For example, suppose that a document contains 10,000 pages; using large object support, you divide the documents into parts that contain 100 pages each. When users retrieve one of the documents, Content Manager OnDemand sends only the first part of the document to the client. Other parts of the document are automatically sent to the client when the user moves to different pages of the document.

Documents that require a large amount of storage to hold (even when compressed) can also benefit from large object support.

When you choose Large Object, Content Manager OnDemand displays the Number of Pages field. Specify the number of pages to include in each segment of the document when Content Manager OnDemand divides the document up into smaller parts.

To generate large objects, the Indexer that is specified on the Indexing Information page must be ACIF, 390, or 400. When you select the Large Object checkbox, Content Manager OnDemand automatically adds the INDEXOBJ=ALL parameter to the indexing parameters (which causes the indexing program to generate the large object indexing information).
