The name of the input file. The records in this file must be separated by a newline unless the Binary Input option is checked. By default their format must match the layout of the clustering IDT to be searched. If the format differs from the clustering data layout, you must select an appropriate input view. This is a mandatory parameter.

Normally all records returned by the Search Server, i.e. those records that have an acceptable score as determined by the Search Definition, are written to the output file. If you also specify

No Match File

and/or

One Match File

(see below), then this file will hold all matching records not written to No Match and One Match files. This is a mandatory parameter.

You must choose the Search Definition to be used from this drop-down list.

If you have predefined search widths (

Narrow

,

Typical

or

Exhaustive

) you can choose one here. Otherwise, if left blank, the control defined in the relevant search is used.

If you have predefined match tolerances (

Conservative

,

Typical

or

Loose

) you can choose one here. Otherwise, if left blank, the control defined in the relevant search is used.

Choose the output report format from here. Values 0 - 7 are valid and are described below.

Name of the output file to hold records that had no matches. This is an optional parameter.

Name of the output file to hold records that had one match. This is an optional parameter.

If the input IDT layout does not match the clustering IDT layout, then choose the predefined layout from this drop-down list.

You can alter the score limits defined in the Search Definition using the

Lower

and

Upper Score Limit

options. Default values are 0 for the

Lower Score Limit

and 100 for the

Upper Score Limit

.

This field can be used to enter extra command line switches supported by future versions of the Relate program. Refer to the

Extra options for Relate and/or DupFinder

section for more information.

Append a newline to the output report after each record. This option has effect only on report formats 0, 1, 3, 4 and 6. Without specifying this option all the output records are written into a single line and the output should be treated as fixed length records.

Remove trailing blanks from each output record. This option has effect only on report formats 0, 3, 4 and 6. This option also implies

Append New Line

so that the boundaries between the output records are not lost.

Select this option if the input file is binary or if the input records are not terminated by newlines (ie. if the records are fixed length). If this option is chosen the record length must match the clustering IDT record length.
