l Sort by:The drop down displays a list of available fields and attributes in that level, letting you select on which to sort.
The field or attributes must be present for every instance of the level you are searching on, or the task raises an error.
l Order:Choose Ascending (orders like a,b,c, or 1,2,3) or Descending (orders like 3,2,1 or c,b,a) order. If the Numeric
sorting option is not checked, numbers are sorted like this:"1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9".
l Numeric Sorting:Check to sort numerically instead of alphabetically (only supports whole numbers. Currency with
thousands separator and decimal points will not work). If any non-numeric value is found in the field or attribute, in any
instance of the level, the task raises an error.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on Task Properties Dialog.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process where errors are
being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the variables selected in this window
will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are overwritten.
Metadata to PDI
The Metadata to PDITask takes the active metadata and generates a PDI using the information in that metadata. It is gen-
erally used in conjunction with a PDFdata file and is used to generate the PDIfile which is used by PlanetPress Search when
building, refreshing or rebuilding its database.
Input
This task can use any data file, as long as it is accompanied by metadata. This metadata may have been directly generated or
could be extracted from a PDFusing the Metadata Embed and Extract task.
Processing
The metadata is read and PDFindexes are located. These indexes are defined in the PlanetPress Design document as data
selections, in which the Archive/Email/Fax properties define the data as an index with a name.
When all the indexes are collected , a PDIfile is generated with those indexes.
Output
The output is the same as the input, no modification is done to either the data file or the metadata. However, a PDIfile is gen-
erated and saved in the location specified in the task.
Metadata to PDITask Properties are as such
l Archive Folder:Specifies where the PDIfile should be saved. This should be the same location as the PDFfile that
the PDIrefers to.
l Filename:The filename for the PDI. This name should correspond exactly with the name of the PDFthat the PDIfile
refers to.
l Index Group:
l PDI:Only generate a PDI file.
l PDIand XML:Generate both the PDIand an XMLequivalent (not used by PlanetPress Search).
