Verifying the text translator setup

Before deploying a service, you should create a few test files and run them through the entire process to ensure that all data is being captured and used correctly.

If any errors are encountered while processing a flat file, these errors are logged in two files as specified in the Flat File Receiver configuration file.

• Error file - logs a list of each incident where an error occurs
• Error data file - contains the actual records that are in error

For example, if you have specified that both error files use the default suffix (.err) and you want to process data from an incoming file named text.in, the Text Translator creates error log files when it encounters an error, and thereafter, any additional errors are appended to the end of each of the following files:

• text.in.err - lists the error incidents
• text.in.err.dat - contains the records that are in error
