Compaq Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: Compaq VTX Version 6.2 for OpenVMS VAX SPD 26.57.17 DESCRIPTION Compaq VTX for OpenVMS VAX is a distributed document filing and re- trieval system. The server runs on the OpenVMS Operating System, while the clients run on any OpenVMS, ULTRIX or MS-DOS system with either DECnet or TCP/IP (except for the MS-DOS and Macintosh clients) as the transport to the server. Compaq VTX Text Retrieval System is now merged with Compaq VTX for Open- VMS VAX to form one product. All multilanguage capabilities of this product are part of the standard Compaq VTX for OpenVMS VAX. The PC client (TeamLinks Library Services for Microsoft Windows (SPD 52.62.xx) and Macintosh client (TeamLinks Library Services for Macintosh (SPD 54.18.xx) are available separately. Text Retrieval functionality provides a search mechanism to access in- fobase pages. Using text retrieval, users can find and retrieve doc- uments where a match to a specified search query is found. Text re- trieval extends the storage retrieval capabilities of Compaq VTX for OpenVMS VAX to include full indexing of existing ISO-1 (ANSI) docu- ments and retrieval of these documents using "full text search." Compaq VTX for OpenVMS VAX is designed to allow users to quickly ac- cess and peruse online information easily. Information can be provided at multiple places in a wide area network and accessed from anywhere in the network; the end user does not need to know the location of the information. All information sources can be interlinked so the user has the impression of working within a single enterprisewide network of information. July 1999 Infobases can store a variety of document types, ranging from text to compound documents containing charts, images, and graphics. These doc- uments can be printed or viewed online if the appropriate viewer or application is present. Launchable pages provide a means to activate other applications, such as Excel or WordPerfect, from within Compaq VTX for OpenVMS VAX. There are no limitations on the type of infor- mation that can be stored in a launchable page, or on the type of ap- plication a launchable page can start. Compaq VTX for OpenVMS VAX provides the infrastructure for an enter- prisewide distributed text retrieval system as follows: o Client/server access to information from video terminals, PCs run- ning DOS, Motif workstations (OpenVMS and ULTRIX), IBM 3270 ter- minals and Apple computers. o Information may be in any format. It can be retrieved either through menus (videotex), full text search, or keywords. o Contents of the customer's application databases can be retrieved through information servers developed by customers using back-end APIs in Compaq VTX. Information can be retrieved by a variety of query techniques, includ- ing: o Search by words, phrases, stems, title, keyword o Wildcard search expressions - single character or many charac- ters o Boolean expressions (AND, OR, and NOT) o Proximity and Field searching ("DEC AND VAX IN SENTENCE") o Date range searches of documents created before or after a spec- ified date o Ability to select indexes to search, including indexes not vis- ible by default o Query Menus: Menu choices can point to Query pages that can be useful predefined queries 2 o Videotex menus Many of the query techniques present documents with search terms high- lighted in context and partial results are returned while long queries continue. In addition, the text retrieval functionality provides the ability to override default stemming by requesting "exact matches." Categories of Compaq VTX for OpenVMS VAX Users: 1. Subscribers are the end-users of the Compaq VTX for OpenVMS VAX ser- vice; they navigate through the infobase, search for specific in- formation pages, and create personal repositories of frequently ac- cessed information. 2.
