VISTA Plus for MPE Administrator's Guide

Chapter 2

When capturing reports in batch mode, you should periodically monitor these datasets to verify that
space is available to support the indexing of captured reports.
Note. The VISTA Plus for MPE character-mode product only requires the ;INDEX
option when reports contain search indices. However, the VISTA Plus for Windows
MPE client requires that the ;INDEX option be specified for all reports.
Indexing Existing Folders
You may have a lot of reports that have been captured but not indexed. A special entry point named
INDEXREPORTS has been added to VISTA Plus (VISTA.PUB.NETBASE) to index reports
within a folder and store page and line offsets. This process operates the same as if you had
specified the ;INDEX option when the report was captured with the NBSpool VSAVE command.
You will need to perform this task for each folder that will be viewed using the VISTA Plus for
Windows MPE application.
The following is an example of using the INDEXREPORT entry point.
:RUN VISTA.PUB.NETBASE,INDEXREPORT;INFO=”BANNER.ARCHIVE”;PARM=101
Enter Report Name to rebuild search indices: <return>
Enter Report Name to rebuild page index tables: <return>
Enter Report Name to rebuild line index tables: @
