Modifying the Splitter Configuration

Sterling Gentran:Server® uses splitters in the communications process to extract enveloped data from a transmission file and determine which transaction break translation objects should be used to process the data.

Splitter entries are defined on the System Configuration program Splitter tab. Each splitter entry contains the parameters that are necessary for the system to identify and split interchanges for received data.

Before receiving inbound XML data, you need to create a Sterling Gentran:Server splitter entry to identify and extract XML documents.

Note: You only need to create a new splitter entry if you are receiving inbound XML data. You need to create a splitter entry for each XML document that has a different start tag.

Use this procedure to create a new splitter entry for XML documents.

From any machine on which the System Configuration program is installed, start the System Configuration program.
The system displays the System Configuration dialog box (Controllers tab).
Select the Splitter tab.
The splitter parameters are displayed.
Click New.
The system allows you to define a new splitter entry.
From the Type list, select XML.
In the Start box, select the DOCTYPE or root element of your XML document.
From the Translation Object section, select the appropriate break translation objects.
Click OK to exit the System Configuration program or click Apply to save any changes without exiting.
