Creating the index data

About this task

You must create index data for your input files before you can load them into the system. If the input data is other than AFP, line, or PDF, then you must use the Generic indexer to load it into the system. You must specify index data for the Generic indexer using a parameter file. You should use a standard text editor to create the parameter file. Figure 1 shows an example of a parameter file that can be used by the Generic indexer to process the Microsoft Word files.

See the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand Indexing Reference for more information about the Generic indexer and the parameter file.
