Running the Launcher Validation Framework

Perform the following procedure to run the Launcher Validation Framework:

  1. Using the Launcher Administration tool Administration tool, create a Launcher System.
    Note: The Launcher Administration tool installs with the Transformation Extender Launcher Edition
  2. Start the Launcher processes.
  3. Start the Management Console, and connect it to your Launcher System. The system is now ready to process files.
    Note: Refer to the Transformation Extender Launcher documentation for details about how to set up and run a Launcher System.
  4. Place a file containing a single MT message in the data/input folder.
    • If it passes validation. it is copied to the data/output/passed folder, and deleted from the data/input folder.
    • If it fails validation, an error report is placed in the data/output/error folder, and the is file deleted from the data/input folder. To ensure uniqueness, each filename is appended with a date-time stamp when placed in the passed folder.
Error files are in a simple XML format (there is schema for this), and are also appended with a date-time stamp. The actual format of the error report depends upon the following factors:
  • Whether the JVC is run in verbose mode, or in terse mode.
  • The type of error - for example, a low-level syntax error versus a conditional rule error.
  • Whether the data in error was multi-line or single line.
