General Information About Con-nect Text Retrieval Administration

Con-nect Text Retrieval is a selectable unit offered with Con-nect Version 3. Con-nect Text Retrieval enables you to retrieve text from a document or reference document which is filed in a TRS folder.

Documents filed in Con-nect can be transferred to Natural Document Management and vice versa. See the Natural Document Management documentation for further information.

Special administrative functions which apply only to Con-nect Text Retrieval are discussed in this section.

Con-nect Text Retrieval System Defaults

When Con-nect Text Retrieval is initially installed on your system, the number of text blocks that can be inverted online, the number of entries which can be alphabetized and the number of entries which can be retrieved per FIND command are set to their default specifications.

These defaults can be modified on the "Administration - System Defaults" screen, as shown below.

Note:
If you re-install or upgrade Con-nect Text Retrieval at a later date, the modifications you make to the defaults are retained.

Text blocks to invert online (for TRS only)

The number of text blocks from a TRS document that can be inverted online. (Default: 10)

Note:
A text block consists of 20 text lines.

Keep in mind that increasing the number of text blocks inverted online will slow your online system down.

Whenever a user manages (issues commands such as MODIFY, FILE, TRANSLATE) a TRS document larger than what your system can invert online, it is automatically moved in the system folder TRS-XXL. When the batch utility "Invert Long Documents" is run, documents within this folder are inverted and moved back to the user's TRS folder. See Con-nect Utilities, section Invert Long Documents for further information.

Entries to be alphabetized

The number of entries per category, root or synonym that can be alphabetized. You cannot specify more than 200 entries. (Default: 100)

If the entries of a category, root or synonym exceeds the limit specified here they are not listed in alphabetical order.

Entries per FIND criteria

The maximum number of entries that can be retrieved per FIND command. Up to 9999 can be retrieved. (Default: 2,000)

Usage within API

Allows users to access Con-nect Text Retrieval files from Natural Document Management or from a user written program using the Con-nect API subprograms. (Default: Yes)
