Image Services: DOC_tool - New option added to create file lists for the sds_import command and Centera devices.

Troubleshooting


Problem

Image Services DOC_tool command has a new option which allows a document id list, consisting of document ids and Centera Clip IDs, to be used with the sds_import utility. This utility imports documents into the Image Services databases. The patch is available in IS 4.1.2 FP16 (or higher) and IS 4.2.0 FP6 (or higher). The new option "clip_ids" is available in DOC_tool with the allowupdates command.

Resolving The Problem

An example of running DOC_tool using the new clip_ids option is shown below:

    DOC_tool
    <DOC_tool:lib a>allowupdates

    Enter the allowupdates password

    <DOC_tool:lib a>sds
    Summary info, Detailed, Worker info, All info, Find object, List, DELETE, SPACE, CLIP_IDS?
    ('s', 'd', 'w', 'a', 'f', 'l', 'DELETE', 'space', 'clip_ids') : clip_ids
    SDS ID (2-255) : 2
    First Doc ID [100000]: <carriage return>
    Last Doc ID [3999999999]: <carriage return>
    Max number documents in output file [20000000]: <carriage return>
    Output file: /fnsw/clip_ids

Key points to review before running DOC_tool
  • The number of document ids and clip ids is limited to 20 million entries.
    • The size of a file containing 20 million rows is 1.4 GB.
      Larger files can be more difficult to manage when using sds_import.
  • A message is written to the Image Services error log when DOC_tool starts and ends the
    new clip_ids option.
