Issue in viewing the AFP loaded using ACIF indexer in AIX server in CMOD ver 9

[azkhan]

Hello..

I have a AFP file(with multiple pages) and I am using ACIF indexer to load it in CMOD. It is getting successfully loaded, but when I retrieve the same document I am only able to view a One page document were as the system log says all the rows loaded successfully. Not able to view the rest of the pages. Whereas the same AFP I am able view with all pages which is loaded using OS/390 indexer.

Please can anyone can advice what is being missed in the ACIF part.

ACIF indexer:
CC=YES
CCTYPE=A
CONVERT=YES

Hello azkhan,

I'm not sure to understand the problem exactly.

How many pages does this AFP have? (I assume 1 page per index, so in total of 42 pages)
How many different indexes does this AFP have? (I assume here 42 indexes, since this is what the output is telling us)
Have many pages are referenced by each indexes? (I assume 1 page per index)

If what I assume is correct, but for that you need to correct me, you have 42 indexes, and each index has exactly 1 page.
Therefore you will see that in your databases, you will have 42 entries in the Libraries server, and each of these entries will display the corresponding 1 page of the AFP.

Is my theory correct?

[Justin Derrick]

Yup, I agree with Alessandro -- something isn't quite right with the indexing.  The best way to diagnose that is to see the data, which you definitely shouldn't post.

Have you tried the arsafpd utility to see what's inside the AFP documents?  There's even a post about it here on the forums:

Hello Justin,

Thanks for the link.

As suggested I tried the arsafpd utility in my AIX box it did not show any error for the AFP.


Hello Alessandro,

Thanks for the response..

In my CMOD AG setup I have 45 index fields. Now I tired to archive the same AFP using OS/390 indexer in AIX and all seems to be good.
I am able to see 42 rows loaded into CMOD and can access each document individually i.e a total of 42 documents are loaded and each document has 5 pages which I can see in CMOD Client window as 1/5 pages and I am able to scroll and view all the pages of each and every 42 loaded documents.

Where as when I archive same AFP using ACIF I am only able to view 1 page for each of 42 documents that are archived.
For every entry in CMOD Client I am able to view 1/1 page only.
So is there any specific configuration or parameters I missed when loading thru ACIF indexer.

[Alessandro Perucchi]

AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now I understand!

The problem is that OS/390 and ACIF Indexer don't work in the same way... They have differences.
I cannot help very much, because I'm not that expert in OS/390 Indexer and ACIF indexer.

The most important for the AFP indexing (TLE), you must have an AFP with the following format:

Code: [Select]

And here is a link with a bit more interesting information with AFP and TLEs:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPCD_9.5.0/com.ibm.ondemand.ir.doc/dodif007.htm

Now, what you can try, is the following:

Code: [Select]

/* DATA INPUT/OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS                                              */
CC=YES                                             /* carriage controls present   */
CCTYPE=A                                           /* ANSI controls in EBCDIC     */
CONVERT=YES                                        /* AFP data in the system      */

/* TRIGGER/FIELD/INDEX DEFINITIONS                                                */
/* None when ACIF processes AFP input data containing TLEs                        */

/* INDEXING INFORMATION                                                           */
DCFPAGENAMES=YES                                   /* unique page names           */
UNIQUEBNGS=YES                                     /* unique group names          */
IMAGEOUT=ASIS                                      /* leave images alone          */
INDEXOBJ=ALL                                       /* required for large object   */

/* RESOURCE INFORMATION                                                           */
FORMDEF=F1FMMST                                   /* default formdef             */
FDEFLIB=/opt/xx/xx
FONTLIB=/opt/xx/xx
OVLYLIB=/opt/xx/xx
PDEFLIB=/opt/xx/xx
PSEGLIB=/opt/xx/xx
RESTYPE=ALL                                    /* collect resources    */
EXTENSIONS=RESORDER

if that helps... basically, this your ACIF information with this link example : http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPCD_9.5.0/com.ibm.ondemand.ir.doc/dodif011.htm

So not that much different from your example.

My advice would be really to check the internal of the AFP with the option "-d", at first, to check if the structure of the document and the TLE are correct, and then with the "-t" you will be able to see all the content of each fields.

If you want you can show us the basic AFP structure (only with option "-d") since it won't say anything about the sensitive data you might have inside.

Hey Alessandro,

I tried to debug using arsafpd utility, no error line was pointed out.

Result of the ARSAFPD option -s -i

ARS7104I Document type: AFP
ARS7107I Group TLE structured fields were encountered

Still the issue is there...

[Alessandro Perucchi]

Hello Azhkan,

if you use the option "-s", you will see nothing at all, and the message "Group TLE structured fields were encountered" is nothing but useful in your specific case...

That's why you "must" use the option "-d" and then check, and check the overall structure of your document, if everything from a structural point of view is correct. We don't speak here about what's inside... because in your case this is irrelevant.

Do you see something like that in your afp, when you do "arsafpd -d -i file.afp" ??

Could you show us, how the structure looks like? A little bit like I've done here? Otherwise it will be difficult to understand the problem that you have.

Thanks,
Alessandro

Hello Alessandro,

This is what I was able to capture and paste as not able to scroll more in the window.
I had used arsafpd -d -t -i <file name>

[Alessandro Perucchi]

Hello Alessandro,

This is what I was able to capture and paste as not able to scroll more in the window.
I had used arsafpd -d -t -i <file name>
 

You don't need to give "-t" option, because that's too much information, and you need to do lots of work to do anonymisations... like you did with all the "xxxxx" you added everywhere, and without the "-t" the output would have been small and easy to cut and paste, without having anything to fear that you might not deleted something...

I took your output and removed all the not necessary information (like the "arsafpd -d -s file") only:

At least from your example, I see only 1 page, with 1 set of TLE (indexes).

If you are in Unix or Linux, could you try to type the following command and send us the output?

Code: [Select]

arsafpd -d -i file.afp |grep -E '[[:space:]]([BE]DT|[BE]NG|[BE]PG|TLE)[[:space:]]'

you should have something like that after the command is finished:

Hello,

I've seen something that seems wrong... but I'm not 100% sure yet, could you also do the following?

1) Generate the output file that will be archived in CMOD

the command is something like

Code: [Select]

arsload -h CMOD -u user -p passwd -g AG -p APP -nvf -i file.afp

by doing this command (adapt it to your environment), arsload will not archive the document, but will only index the file and generate 2-3 files:

• file.afp.ind
• file.afp.out
• file.afp.res

2) After point 1) has created these 2-3 files, then run the following command:

Code: [Select]

arsafpd -d -i file.afp.out |grep -E '[[:space:]]([BE]DT|[BE]NG|[BE]PG|TLE)[[:space:]]'

and post the output, please.




My feeling/theory/supposition/... is the following, and I want to be sure of it...

In the CMOD documentation, there is this sentence:

Although the input file may contain multiple BDT structured field, the ACIF output will contain only one BDT structured field. (The same is true of End Document (EDT) structured fields.)

(source: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPCD_9.5.0/com.ibm.ondemand.ir.doc/dodif194.htm

And I'm wondering if the OS/390 Indexer allows multiple BDT/EDT in the input/output, but ACIF allows only the first BDT/EDT found in the input to put it in the output.
If that's the case, this is one of the differences between OS/390 and ACIF indexer.
And in that case, you must keep using OS/390 indexer for these AFP. Of course for that, you must use AIX or a os/390 server... If you are using Linux/Solaris/Windows, then you are out of luck.
If you want to load these documents in Linux/Solaris/Windows and you MUST use ACIF indexer, then the only choice would be:
A) Write a AFP parser to rebuild the AFP in a supported form for the ACIF Indexer
or
B) Ask the people in charge of the generation of the AFP to create a OnDemand ACIF Indexer compliant AFP to be archived.

I would say, that B) is the most clean way to do it... and the one I strongly advise.



Well, before going to far, I'm waiting for your input.

Hi Alessandro,

Tried to get output of the given command but was unsuccessful to access it as the file was create in the location ./xx.afp.out

I tried to open the hidden directory (.)  also using unix command ls -lrta,
but when pasted the path in the command arsafpd -d -i /xx/xx/xx.afp.out | grep -E '[[:space:]]([BE]DT|[BE]NG|[BE]PG|TLE)[[:space:]]' it failed saying this file is not present.
 
I feel the .ind, .out and .res files gets deleted after loading is processed.

[Alessandro Perucchi]

You must add the following options:

• -i
• -n

to your arsload command, otherwise the output will be deleted, do it manually. and then you should have a .ind / .res and .out file somewhere where you ran this arsload command.
Otherwise if it is ok, post the command you are running, and I will check if something is strange
