Selecting specific documents in the DBQ

The standard process for creating DBQs is to create a generic query where you specify a document type filter and a metadata filter. This type of query is used to select all documents in the Document Broker repository that match the filter criteria.

In some cases you may need a DBQ that selects specific documents in the Document Broker repository. For example, if a print shop has a printer jam, the affected documents need to be resent. In this case you can select the documents in DBQ Tool, and create a query that selects these documents only. Another example is that DBQ Tool can be used by consultants for testing purposes to delete or process a couple of documents.

To create a DBQ that selects specific documents

1	Select the document types to include in the query. See Selecting document types.

2	Specify more filter criteria for the query based on metadata values. See Using the metadata filter.

3	Perform a search to list all documents that fulfill the filter specified. See Performing a search.

4	In the document list, select all documents to include in the query.
