180 IBM Content Manager OnDemand Guide
The OS/390 indexer is enhanced to allow the storage of documents (or large object 
segments) that exceed 2 GB. A report might contain multiple documents (or large object 
segments), each of which exceeds 2 GB. This enhancement does not affect the limitations 
that are imposed by other indexers. The limitations on the document size are based on the 
available hardware and any other limitations that are placed on the operating environment.
For more information about the use of the OS/390 indexer, see IBM Content Manager 
OnDemand - Indexing Reference, SC19-3354.
7.6  OS/400 indexer on Content Manager OnDemand on IBM i
The OS/400 indexer is a powerful tool to index the print data streams of IBM i application 
programs. Supported data streams include SCS, AFP , and the less common SCS-Extended 
and Line Data. 
The OS/400 indexer provides three major functions: 
/SM590000Print data stream processing: The OS/400 indexer processes the output print data 
streams of application programs, for example, SCS, AFP , and Line Data reports. The 
output can be viewed, printed, and archived by Content Manager OnDemand. 
/SM590000Sophisticated indexing functions: The OS/400 indexer can logically divide reports into 
individual items, such as statements, policies, and bills. Y ou can define up to 32 index 
fields for each item in a report if you are running a Content Manager OnDemand server 
version that is earlier than version 9.0.0.1. Beginning at version 9.0.0.1 of the server, 
128 index fields can be defined. 
/SM590000AFP resource collection: For AFP spooled files, the OS/400 indexer determines the 
resources that are necessary to view, print, and archive the print data stream and collect 
the resources (except fonts, which are not stored but are mapped by the client during 
display). Resources allow users to view the report as it displayed in the original printed 
version, regardless of when or where the report was created. 
The OS/400 indexer supports many advanced features:
/SM590000Multi-key indexes
/SM590000Spool File Archive compatibility
/SM590000Start Indexing on Page
/SM590000Translate Print Control
/SM590000AFP support with or without TLEs
/SM590000Large object support
The OS/400 indexer processes three input sources: 
/SM590000Indexing parameters that specify how the data needs to be indexed. The indexing 
parameters are created when you define a Content Manager OnDemand application. 
/SM590000AFP resources that are required to view and print the data if the application created an 
AFP print data stream.
/SM590000The print data stream, which can be in a spooled file (all data types) or in a physical file 
(Line Data or SCS data that was converted to Line Data with First Character Forms 
Control (FCFC) characters in column one of the data).
