File System Question for Using Generic Indexer

[JeanineJ]

I currently have my arsload libraries defined for the CMOD arsload daemon as /app/arsacif/acif1 /app/arsacif/acif2 and /app/arsacif/acif3.
I want to define another file system /app/arsacif/acif4 that will be strictly for input coming to be indexed with the Generic Indexer with the load triggered by a scheduled script. The expected payload could be (more or less) 20k of PDF files (the source doesn't want to put them in one large file anymore because it becomes too large for them manipulate).
Is that a good or bad idea?
I'm trying to brainstorm ideas to keep this payload in CMOD. I've already told the client that we won't accept individual pdf files to load one at a time. Been there, done that and loading took too long.

You already plan to load the PDFs from the new file system using a special script triggered on schedule.

What if that script has a step where 100 of ".IND" files are merged into one large ".IND" file?

This way, the sender would send the 20K single PDFs into the landing zone, just as they prefer, and you will have a script to group them into larger .IND files for efficient CMOD storage and move the merged .IND files into a directory CMOD monitors. Your PDF landing zone will be used by your script to prepare the merge.IND files for the monitored directory.
