Client preview exit

The Content Manager OnDemand client preview exit allows an installation to process document data before the document is presented to the client. The client preview exit can be used to add, remove, or reformat data before the document is presented to the client. For example:
  • Remove pages from the document, such as banner pages, title pages, all pages but the summary page, and so on.
  • Remove specific words, columns of data, or other information from the document. That is, omit sensitive information such as salaries, social security numbers, and birth dates.
  • Add information to the document, for example, a summary page, data analysis information, and confidential or copy statements.
  • Reformat data contained in the document, for example, reorder the columns of data.

COBOL bindings are provided for the exit. This allows installations to use COBOL as the high-level language interface for the exit. The COBOL support requires Enterprise COBOL for z/OS® Version 3.4 or above because the exits can run in a POSIX thread environment and must use the THREAD compiler option.

See the IBM® Content Manager OnDemand for z/OS: Configuration Guide for more information about the client preview exit.
