Is _*FINDONCE*_ Supported with the PDF Indexer
« on: July 23, 2020, 08:54:15 AM »
I am trying to define the ReportTime as printed on the first page of a PDF report as an index key.  The issue is that the time can change from one page to the next within the same PDF report. This causes segmentation within the report each time the ReportTime value changes.  I want to store one report segment, containing all of the pages together, in OnDemand.

In the OS/400 indexer there is a feature (DEFAULT='_*FINDONCE*_').  I tried adding this to the PDF Application configuration using the Manual approach and it had no effect. Maybe my syntax was incorrect.  Has anyone successfully used this with the PDF Indexer?
Or, Is there an equivalent way within the the PDF Indexer to read the index key value from ONLY the first occurrence within each PDF file?

Thanks,
Joe

The find once function is unique to the OS400 Indexer.
I don't know of a method to accomplish the same function with the PDF Indexer.
