Report Indexing / Re: Can i index from filename

« on: November 05, 2019, 07:09:02 AM »

This is what I found worked for me.  As I mentioned previously, I found that you must already have created a .ARD file and a .IND file (containing no index data) with the same name.

Application Group INVOICEAG contains 3 fields, NAME, INVNUMBER, RPTDATE with format YYYYMMDD.
Application INVOICE is defined as Generic Indexer with data type PDF.

These files exist in my directory:
INVOICEAG.INVOICE.TESTNAME.987654.20190221.ARD   
INVOICEAG.INVOICE.TESTNAME.987654.20190221.ARD.IND
INVOICEAG.INVOICE.TESTNAME.987654.20190221.ARD.PDF

The content of the .IND file are:
COMMENT:                                                                       
CODEPAGE:37                                                                     
COMMENT:                                                                       
GROUP_OFFSET:0                                                                 
GROUP_LENGTH:0                                                                   
GROUP_FILENAME:/ascent/Scan02/INVOICEAG.INVOICE.TESTNAME.987654.20190221.ARD.PDF
 
This arsload command worked to load a specific file:
arsload -h ONDENU -v -G MVS -A JOBNAME -b 1,NAME -b 2,INVNUMBER -b 3,RPTDATE -B MVS.JOB.1FLD.2FLD.3FLD /ascent/Scan02/INVOICEAG.INVOICE.TESTNAME.987654.20190221.ARD

I have tried to do this using the ARSLOAD -B parameter.  The way I read the documentation, it sounds as if the ARSLOAD would then build your .IND file using using your field names and GROUP_OFFSET =0 and GROUP_LENGTH=0. 

This would be nice, but it appears that you also have to provide your own .ARD and .IND file with the same name as the file you want to load with the OFFSET and LENGTH values specified and the CODEPAGE set to your value.  Then the -B parameter will add the index values.

I have had to write my own program to monitor a directory, parse the fields from the filename and create the .IND file.

It would be great if OnDemand would add the function you are requesting.

iSeries / Re: Can we change TIFF documents to PDF

« on: October 15, 2019, 10:14:29 AM »

If you are using Kofax Capture in the future then you could choose to use the PDF Generator feature of Kofax Capture (this feature creates image-only PDF files unless you have the additional Kofax PDF Generator license to create text searchable PDFs), then export/load the PDF files to OnDemand.  You can not load TIFF and PDF files to the same OnDemand Application.  I suggest creating a new App Group and Application specific to PDF files.  Then use the OnDemand Folder to enable search across both the TIFF and the PDF App Groups.

For the existing TIF files, you will need to unload them using ARSDOC Get then use a third party tool to convert to PDF then reload them to you PDF defined App Group and App.

iSeries / Re: FNDRPTOND always returns message 'FOLDER xxxxxxxx NOT FOUND

« on: October 11, 2019, 11:16:39 AM »

Update - This same FNDKEYOND API worked perfectly and without issue on another PC in the network. We plan to investigate the difference between the two PCs and will update this thread.  Where we plan to look are:
- Differences in the Windows Firewall settings
- The failed PC was on an old Windows 7 PC that I was using Remote Desktop to access.

iSeries / Re: FNDRPTOND always returns message 'FOLDER xxxxxxxx NOT FOUND

« on: October 11, 2019, 05:55:09 AM »

I agree.  I tried it using both types of field names (just for grins). Unfortunately, this is not the issue.  Here is another example:

FNDKEYOND FOLDER (TESTLOAD) KEYFLD(('Claim Number' *EQ TEST1))

I get the same error "FOLDER TESTLOAD NOT FOUND"

This is despite that when I use F4 to prompt the command, then use F4 to prompt the Folder, I see the complete list of Folders defined on the default (and only) Instance on the system.  I see TESTLOAD in the list.

I support other OnDemand v.10 iSeries servers and the function works very simply without issue.  Here I can not even determine if it is a client or server setting issue as there is nothing to use to debug.

iSeries / FNDRPTOND always returns message 'FOLDER xxxxxxxx NOT FOUND

« on: October 10, 2019, 01:16:21 PM »

I am trying to implement the FNDKEYOND command from a 5250 session to the OnDemand Client for which I have launched and logged onto the QRLROCD.EXE app on the PC.  I am using a system admin OnDemand account.

I can use the app to successfully open, search and retrieve from the any of the defined Folders.

However, no matter which Folder I specify in my FNDKEYOND API call, the 5250 sessions says that my retrieval request has been transferred to the OnDemand client viewer program.  BUT, I get a message from qrlrocd saying "FOLDER xxxxxx NOT FOUND"  with an OK button and no added details or logs.
The xxxxxxx is the exact name of the folder that I specified in the FNDKEYOND command, so the folder name appears to be getting down to the client

Example:
FNDKEYOND FOLDER('System Log') KEYFLD((MSG_NUM *EQ 30))

Message from qrlrocd is: FOLDER System Log NOT FOUND
It does not even find the System Log.  Is there piece of setup that I am missing?  Or has anyone encountered this issue? 
I am running server version 10.1.0.5 with a v.10.1 client.

Report Indexing / Re: Kofax Export of PDF Files Not Viewable in PDF Viewer

« on: October 05, 2019, 07:40:10 AM »

Justin,

Thanks for catching this.  I also realized this late yesterday and was returning here to post this update.

I made the wrong assumption that if I disable the Export Image check box from the old Kofax Export to OnDemand module that it would output the PDF.  Obviously, it still outputs the TIF.

Report Indexing / Re: Kofax Export of PDF Files Not Viewable in PDF Viewer

« on: October 04, 2019, 09:37:17 AM »

Additional testing to try to isolate the issue: I created Exported a single document batch to my local PC hard disk. 
Export created the .OUT file and .IND file on my local disk.
I renamed the file extension to .PDF and tried to open the file.
My Adobe viewer gives the same error that the file is damaged.

I changed my Batch Class to remove the PDF Generator and export the TIF instead. When I do the same rename of .OUT to .TIF the TIF file displays correctly in my TIF viewer.

It appears that the cause may be the Export module creation of the .OUT file specific to the handling of PDF files.

Report Indexing / Kofax Export of PDF Files Not Viewable in PDF Viewer

« on: October 04, 2019, 08:48:38 AM »

I have a Kofax Capture system configured with the old Kofax Export to OnDemand v.5 export script. I have Kofax PDF Generator configured to convert the scanned documents to PDF.
I have OnDemand App Group and App configured to accept PDF files.
The Export module successfully exports the combination of .ARD, .IND, and .OUT files to the OnDemand server for loading.
The files successfully index to OnDemand.

The issue is on display from OnDemand Client. The files launch in my Adobe PDF Viewer on the PC but they give an ERROR saying that the files are damaged.

I have attached one set of files with this issue, .ARD, .IND and .OUT file.  Remove the .TXT added to the end of each needed for attachment.

The Export module combines the PDF files from the Kofax Batch to a single .OUT file.  The OnDemand Load program is dividing the .OUT file back into multiple files based on the OFFSET and LENGTH specified for each document in the .IND file.

Has anyone bumped into this scenario? Does anyone have any idea what I could try differently or have a work around.

iSeries / Re: Batch Retrieval of Tif Files using Arsdoc Get

« on: September 30, 2019, 03:47:56 PM »

Are you using OnDemand on the iSeries?  If so, I had a similar error on one system.  I believe it was because the windows mapped drive to the IFS directory was not configured to convert from EBCDIC to ASCII.  I changed a checkbox on the iSeries Navigator for file conversion and it removed the error I was getting.  Let me know if I need to dig for more specific details.

Windows Client / Can ALL error messages be Suppressed

« on: September 03, 2019, 08:53:51 AM »

With OnDemand thick Client v.10 is there a way to configure the application to suppress (not display) messages when a document is selected for display from the hit list.  For example, missing FONT error messages.  There is nothing that we want to do to fix the issue. We are OK with the way the document displays. We just do not want to have to see or respond to the messages that pop every time a document is selected.

Is there a setup or configuration option I am missing that will suppress all messages?

Thanks,
Joe

iSeries / Can /QNTC file System be used in Generic Indexer IND file GROUP_FILENAME parm?

« on: August 01, 2019, 11:12:37 AM »

I have a need to load a large number of files that are located on one iSeries IFS directory (SystemA) into an OnDemand iSeries Instance running on another iSeries Server on the same network (SystemB).  When I create the Generic Indexer .IND files on SystemB, can I specify a GROUP_FILENAME path similar to:

GROUP_FILENAME:/QNTC/SystemA/ShareName/Directory/.../ObjectName

Has anyone tried this or tested to see if this works?  If so, any advice? Is performance an issue?

Thanks,

iSeries / Is Retrieval preview User Exit available on the iSeries?

« on: July 02, 2019, 10:54:52 AM »

I see references in the Multiplatform and Z platform documentation to the Client Preview User Exit.  I can not find similar documentation in the System i platform documentation.  Is this User Exit supported on the System i implementation of CMOD?  If so, can someone point me to the documentation for this exit?  Are there examples included with the product? If not, does anyone have a working sample code they could share?

I have an interest in trying to do some customized redaction on some OnDemand archived documents.

Thanks,
Joe

iSeries / Re: Change Application Group

« on: April 09, 2019, 07:54:59 AM »

I don't think you can use an OnDemand command to change the App Group.  My suggestion is to use the OnDemand i command 'PRTRPTOND' to reprint the entire spool file to your designated iSeries output queue.  Then rearchive this spool file to the correct App Group.  Once confirmed that you have it rearchived correctly you can use RMVRPTOND and the old reportid to delete the incorrectly loaded spool file.
