The documentation portal is undergoing maintenance. During this period, you can't create any new user credentials. If you do, you'll need to recreate the user credential after the maintenance period ends.
If you have chosen to develop an on-line program, the samples supplied on the CD will be a good reference base. For batch programs, the supplied samples will also be a good reference in conjunction with pseudo code documented in the
APPLICATION REFERENCE FOR SSA-NAME3 SERVICE GROUPS
manual.
Before doing any work on the prototype application, read the following sections of the
APPLICATION REFERENCE FOR SSA-NAME3 SERVICE GROUPS manual: Introduction; NAMESET; MATCH
.
For more information on Searching, read the following sections in the
NAMESET chapter: How an Application Processes the Keys Stack; How an Application Processes the Search Table; Tips on Choosing a Search Strategy
.
For more information on Matching, read the
MATCH/Operation
section.
The Supplied SSA-NAME3 Service Group Sample Programs
The
ids\ssaname\samples\programs
folder on the SSA-NAME3 Extension for 1.8 Users CD contains a sample on-line search program and a key-load program, coded in various development languages from the pseudo code found in
ids\ssaname\samples\programs\pseudo
.
The sample key-load program will have the name protokb and the sample search program the name protosh.
In some cases these programs can be executed against an Access database provided in
ids\ssaname\samples\data
, however, this depends on the development language. The Access database is provided to demonstrate how the programs work, rather than to demonstrate the quality of an SSA-NAME3 search which should be left for your prototype.
The
readme.txt
file in
ids\ssaname\samples
contains further information about these sample applications.
