Capturing Reports to Image Server and Setting Search Indexes Automatically

From Support

If you have a question or seek clarification, please call Technical Support.

Problem:

Trying to automatically set index keys for the WebDocs - iSeries Edition software when a report is captured to WebDocs - iSeries Edition via the Batch Report Server/400 output queue monitor process.

Solution:

As of Batch Report Server/400 V1.23, index values can be set in the user defined data field of a report via the OVRPRTF command when a report is generated on the System i or by using the AS/400 Report Splitter.

The index user defined data line format is:

IMGSERVER:Doc Title;Index1;Index2;Index3;Index4;Index5;Index6;Index7;Index8;Index9;Index 10;Doc Type;                                  

Listed below is a sample index line set in the user defined data field of a report via the OVRPRTF command. This sample simply sets the document title to Customer Invoice and also sets the invoice number to 123456 and name to Johnson Outboard. The WebDocs - iSeries Edition document type will be AR:

IMGSERVER:Customer Invoice;123456;Johnson Outboard; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;AR;                                  

Note: Parameters are always delimited by a semicolon (;). Always leave at least one blank space between each semicolon delimiter if a parameter will not be used.
