Generic indexer

For example, suppose that you want to load word processing documents into the system. The documents can be stored in Content Manager OnDemand in the same format in which they were created. The documents can be retrieved from Content Manager OnDemand and viewed with the word processor. The documents do not contain AFP data, line data, Metacode, PCL or PDF data, so you cannot index them with ACIF, the Content Manager OnDemand PDF Indexer. You can specify index information about the documents to the Generic indexer and load the documents into the system. Users can then search for and retrieve the documents using one of the Content Manager OnDemand client programs.

To use the Generic indexer, you must specify all of the index data for each input files that you want to store in and retrieve from Content Manager OnDemand. You specify the index data in a parameter file. The parameter file contains the index fields, index values, and information about the input files or documents that you want to process. The Generic indexer retrieves the indexing information from the parameter file and generates the index data that is loaded into the database. Content Manager OnDemand creates one index record for each input file (or document) that you specify in the parameter file. The index record contains the index values that uniquely identify a file or document in Content Manager OnDemand.

The Generic indexer supports group-level indexes. Group indexes are stored in the database and used to search for documents. You must specify one set of group indexes for each file or document that you want to process with the Generic indexer. You can define up to 128 index fields for each file or document.
