Loading a File Definition

Sterling Gentran:Server® enables you to load an individual file format definition that you previously saved. This feature provides you with a quick way to build either side of your map.

Important: Loading a file definition replaces the selected side of the map. Please be certain that is your intent before performing this task.

Use this procedure to load a file format definition.

  1. Right-click the File Format icon (either the input or output side of the map) and select Open File Definition.

    If you already used Sterling Gentran:Server to create that side of the map, you are prompted with a message that warns you that the existing file format will be replaced.

  2. Click Yes to continue.

    The system displays the Open File Definition dialog box.

  3. Navigate to the location where Sterling Gentran:Server is installed and either select the file definition or enter the filename.
  4. Click Open.

    The system loads the selected file format definition.
