What Data Looks Like for This Category
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) enterprise financial report data primarily comes from two sources: periodic reports for listed companies disclosed by the Shenzhen and Shanghai Stock Exchanges, and industry research documents released by the national TCM industry association. Disclosure schedules follow fixed timelines: annual reports are disclosed before April each year, semi-annual reports before August each year, and quarterly reports within one month after the end of each quarter. Documents follow standard formatting for listed company financial reports, but include dedicated sections for TCM business, proprietary Chinese medicine segments, decoction pieces production capacity, and similar topics. Fields include per-mu planting cost, procurement volume, production line capacity, number of approval documents, and other metrics. Field units are mostly physical measurement units such as yuan, tons, pieces, and individual units, with no unified general numerical prefix.
Constraints for Document Parsing and Chunking
The standardized financial report format and dedicated TCM business sections require parsing workflows to accurately locate TCM-related sections and exclude irrelevant content from other business areas. Single documents can be lengthy; some annual reports include dozens of pages of supplementary materials. This imposes requirements on parsing and chunking duration and memory usage. TCM business fields mostly contain physical measurement content with specialized terminology. Chunking must preserve complete associations between terms and their context to avoid breaking business logic. When multiple financial reports are uploaded simultaneously, source identifiers must be added to chunked content. Subsequent analysis cannot distinguish parsing results from different files without these identifiers.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
segment_length | 800–1200 characters | TCM financial reports contain extensive long-form business descriptions. This range preserves complete business context such as TCM material costs and production capacity |
chunk_overlap | 150–200 characters | Business connections across paragraphs in financial reports are tight. Overlapping sections prevent loss of logical links for TCM business during chunking |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 600 seconds | Single listed company financial reports can span dozens of pages. This duration covers the full parsing workflow and prevents mid-process timeouts |
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE | 1000 MB | Some annual report attachments include multiple pages of supplementary materials. This upper limit supports complete file uploads |
attach_source_file | Enabled | Adds a source file identifier to each chunk, resolving the issue of distinguishing results after uploading multiple files |
enable_ocr | Enabled only for scanned documents | Most financial reports disclosed by stock exchanges are editable PDFs. OCR is not required, avoiding additional parsing time |
The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require individual analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Symptom: The document parsing node returns a
504 Gateway Timeouterror, and the error occurs suddenly without recent configuration changes. Cause: ThePARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDSparameter was not adjusted. The length of a single TCM financial report has increased compared to previous periods, exceeding the default timeout limit. - Symptom: After uploading multiple TCM financial reports, knowledge base search results cannot distinguish parsed content from different files. Cause: The
attach_source_fileconfiguration item was not enabled, and no source file identifier was added to chunked content. This makes it impossible to distinguish results by file. - Symptom: Knowledge base search tests fail to return content related to TCM material costs from financial reports. Cause: The
segment_lengthsetting is too small, splitting paragraphs that contain complete cost logic, preventing full semantic matching during searches.
How to Verify Correct Configuration
- Upload a single TCM annual financial report, view the parsed chunk list, and confirm each chunk retains complete semantics related to TCM business, with no term splitting or paragraph breaks.
- Check chunk metadata, confirm each chunk is labeled with the corresponding source file name and affiliated section. This enables distinction between results from multiple files.
- Run search tests with specialized keywords such as "TCM material planting cost" and "proprietary Chinese medicine production capacity". Confirm matching chunked content is returned without omissions.
- Upload a single large-volume financial report document, confirm the parsing workflow does not produce timeout errors and meets preset duration requirements.
