Abstract
A method, system and program product for automatically retrieving documents is provided. Specifically, a hit list of documents is generated directly from an input file of requests. Once generated, the hit list is processed according to system, data object, storage node identification, storage drive and/or cache. Once sorted, plurality of retrieval programs are launched and executed in parallel to retrieve the requested documents.
Claims38
A method for automatically retrieving documents, comprising
- generating a hit list of documents to be retrieved, wherein the hit list is generated directly from an input file of requests;
- processing the hit list according to system, data object and storage drive;
- and
- retrieving the documents based on the processed hit list from at least one remote location.
A method for automatically retrieving documents, comprising:
- providing a hit list of documents to be retrieved, wherein the hit list is generated directly from an input file of requests, and wherein the hit list includes location identifications where the documents are stored;
- sorting and splitting the hit list into sublists according to system, data object and storage drive;
- and
- launching a plurality of retrieval programs, wherein each of the plurality of retrieval programs corresponds to one of the sublists, and wherein the plurality of retrieval programs execute in parallel to retrieve the documents.
A method for automatically retrieving documents, comprising:
- generating a hit list of documents to be retrieved directly from an input file of requests on a library system, wherein the input file includes location identifications where the documents are stored;
- sorting the hit list according to system, cache, storage node and data object;
- splitting the sorted hit list into sublists according to at least one of system, storage drive and cache;
- and
- launching a plurality of retrieval programs to retrieve the documents from at least one remote location, wherein each of the plurality of retrieval programs corresponds to one of the additional sublists, and wherein the plurality retrieval programs execute in parallel.
A system for automatically retrieving documents, comprising:
- a list system for generating a hit list of documents to be retrieved, wherein the hit list is generated directly from an input file of requests received on a library system;
- a processing system for processing the hit list according to system, data object and storage drive;
- and
- a retrieval system for retrieving the documents based on the processed hit list from at least one remote location.
A program product stored on a recordable medium for automatically retrieving documents, which when executed comprises:
- program code for generating a hit list of documents to be retrieved, wherein the hit list is generated directly from an input file of requests received on a library system;
- program code for processing the hit list according to system, data object and storage drive;
- and
- program code for retrieving the documents based on the processed hit list from at least one remote location.
