We recommend using the PDF FSS collector to collect, archive, and index PDF reports. Once collected, the PDF report can be viewed from the CA OM Web Viewer. If the PDF report is indexed, individual sections of the report can be viewed by selecting indexes through cross-report selection.
Business Value:
An increasing number of applications are producing PDF as an output format. Use the power of the mainframe and CA View to index and store PDF documents. If a PDF file is a concatenation of many customer statements, indexing will save time and enable the user to quickly retrieve an individual customer statement.
Additional Considerations:
After establishing your PDF FSS Collector JES printer and proc, (see the CA View Reference Guide, chapter entitled ‘PDF Indexing in CA View’ for details), set up the PDF Indexing member for your PDF report. It is in this member that you instruct the PDF Collector how to index the report. Initially you will specify XYDUMP=YES to produce a PDF Report that displays which fields within the PDF document can be indexed and their associated X and Y coordinates. After reviewing the PDF Report, you will modify this PDF Indexing member specifying and index name and the coordinates of the data to be indexed.
The report is processed again using the modified Indexing member and a list of these index values can be seen in CA Output Management Web Viewer. The individual indexed report page can now be selected for viewing.
