In this method, the View server requests documents from the Distributed Connector. The Distributed Connector uses your individual connectors to retrieve documents from your repositories.
View with Distributed Connector
Advantages:
This method allows you to view documents in all repositories where the connector supports the View action.
You can use View server features such as caching, viewing embedded images, and highlighting.
Disadvantages:
This method requires more network transfer than other methods.
This method uses AUTN_IDENTIFIER
for viewing rather than DREREFERENCE
.
This method has the following setup requirements for indexing:
Documents must have a reference field that your connectors recognize. Micro Focus recommends that you use the AUTN_IDENTIFIER
field. You must configure this field as a ReferenceType
field in IDOL.
Subfiles must use an identifier string in the form AUTN_IDENTIFIER|x.y.z
where x
, y
, and z
are the subfile indexes for each level. You build the subfile identifiers in Lua. This format enables View server to generate the links to the subfiles for viewing.
Connectors must each set a unique AUTN_GROUP
(controlled by the ConnectorGroup
configuration parameter).
