Archive Options
- Application Name: Use 10 characters alphanumeric. Embedded blanks are not recommended.
- Description: Enter a recognizable description to identify this application.
- Library: This is the library in which the meta data file is stored and is a global setting stored in data area DSIVIEWLIB.
- Directory: This is the root of the iView IFS archives. It is a global setting stored in data area DSIVIEWDIR.
- PDF Output Name: Specify the file system object name of the archived document using constants and these keywords:
| *NAME | The archive name |
| *DATE | Processing date in format YYMMDD |
| *TIME | Processing time in format HHMMSS |
| *INDEX01 to *INDEX20 | Contents of meta data fields |
- Disposition Options: This controls the fate of the original spool file:
*RETAIN Retain in Output queue *ORIGINAL Archive Original *SYSTEM Archive Post Processing *NONE Do Not Archive
- Table Import: Controls use of tables when importing from prior implementations of iScan. This field is not used with current software and should be set to N.
- Allow Null Value: Y/N
- Processing Options: Process spool file under the iView user profile or under the profile of the spool file owner. This will impact what profile owns the spool file post-processing.
*SYSTEM Use iView System Profile *SPLFOWNER Use Splf Owner Profile
- iDocs Application: If you want the spool file processed through iDocs before archiving specify the application here. If specified what is archived is a laser document, else it is a pdf document made from the text spool file.
- Storage Format: Specify the document type of the file. *PDF is the usual selection due to ease of use with a browser. PDF is also the front end default and any other selection may require front end configuration changes. The use of *PDFSIG enables signature capture in the archive.
*PDF *USERASCII PDF Conversion *PDFSIG PDF Convert for Signature *TIFF Tiff Image
- Product: Specify IDOCS to create a laser document using the iDocs Suite. Otherwise leave blank. This field is used for integrations with other document products.
- Printing Queue (Signature) Printing queue and queue library are specified to hold the output from the print option in signature capture. This is unconditional. Multiple and conditional print output from Signature Capture can also be configured using F18.
Meta Data Fields
The meta data fields are defined by their position in a *SCS spool file.
Seq#: You can change the order of the columns of the meta data table by keying a different sequence number
and pressing <enter>.
Sorting is specified as it is in iDocs:
1 Primary Sort Ascending
2 Primary Sort Descending
3 Secondary Sort Ascending
4 Secondary Sort Descending
5 Third Sort Ascending
6 Third Sort Descending
7 Forth Sort Ascending
8 Forth Sort Descending
9 Fifth Sort Ascending
Since this is text against which users will search in a browser, the normal practice
is to define short, one line text fields as meta data. Fields such as customer name, customer number, etc.
You can define text blocks as meta data but the searching dynamics should be considered.
Meta data is stored in the meta data file, having the same name as the archive application, in the iView library.
Bursting works as it does in iDocs and as one would intuitively expect.
Sigtag: Specify a Y to display this field on the Signature Capture search dialog. You should define at least one field as sigtag for a Signature Capture application ( see Storage Format above ).
Page#: Use keywords *FIRST, *LAST, *ALL, or a specific page number to specify from which page the meta data
value is scraped.
No. Pgs Indexed: Key the number of pages from which spool text is scraped and concatenated to form the
meta data for the meta data field. Left blank, 1 page is scraped unless *ALL pages is specified.
Type: Specify blank or A for an alpha string. Specify D for a date field. If a date field, use F11 to enter a date format. The format specified should match the format in the spool file – i.e. tell iView how to parse the spool file date.

F14=FTP Definition F18=Signature Output Routing
This display is used to add or change an archive definition, although one can notchange the meta data fields after the archive is created.
F14=FTP Definition:
iView can be configured to ftp the document that it is about to archive, and optionally an exported text file of the index values of the document, to a remote host.
At the time of archiving, which is after sorting and bursting and after any specified iDocs merge, iView will initiate an FTP session with the specified host and transfer the archived document to the specified host and directory. Optionally it will export the index values for that document in a text file. The original document is then archived in iView.

- AS/400 Namefmt: 0 for the DB2/400 file system and 1 for the Integrated File System format.
- Log Lib/File: If logging specify a library and file name for a log file. This file must either be FTPLOG or a duplicate of it. If logging you must specify a log file and library.
- Log Level: Logging level. If *NONE the log file need not be entered. This logging is separate from iView engine logging, which is into the job log.
- Job Queue: System i job queue. If entered iView will submit to this job queue all of the ftp commands and the Post FTP Command specified below it. If not specified it will simply run these commands as part of the archive engine job stream.
- Export Index File: If *YES specified iView will create a text file containing the iView archive fields and their values for the document separated by a space, and will ftp this file to the same target with the archived document. The file name is the same as the archived document except that the file extension is .txt. This file is not retained on the System i.
- Post FTP Cmd: Optionally specify a command to execute upon completion of the ftp transactions. Remember that this job will have to manage its own library list.
FTP Log File
iView FTP logs into a file if logging is specified, by default FTPLOG. The file format is:
A R FTPLOGR A LPROCESSED 1A A LTIMESTAMP Z A LHOST 128A A LFILE 128A A LLOGDATA 200A
- LPROCESSED: A 1 character field that may be used to mark the record. iView does not by default do anything with this field.
- LTIMESTAMP: The System i timestamp of the logged message.
- LHOST: The remote host.
- LFILE: File in question.
- LLOGDATA: Logging data or message.

- Archive Original Spool File To: This is the endpoint for the original spool file.
- Data Queue: Provide a name and library for the engine's data queue. This must be unique. The engine will create it if it is not present at engine startup. A dataqueue is a filesystem object.
- Originating Outqueue and Library: This is the monitored outqueue. Note that you can not have multiple dataqueue engines monitoring one outqueue.
- Spool Attribute: Specify the external spool file attribute to test to recognize the spool file and select the correct archive application. Specify one of:
| *FORM | Original Spool Form Type |
| *USRPRF | User Profile of Spool |
| *JOBNAME | Job Name of the Spool |
| *SPLFILE | Print File Name |
| *USRDTA | User data Value in Spool |
* Spool Value: Specify the specific value to test the selected external spool file attribute against.
- Archive Application: Prompt for and select the archive application to process the spool file for which the specified external spool file attribute matches the provided value.
You can have an unlimited number of engines in iView. You may define up to 9,999 engines in this dialog.
