Legacy Profile Import Utility

The legacy profile import utility has been replaced by the Data Setup Utility (DSU). Refer to Data Setup Utility, Running the Data Setup Utility for Payment Feature Services, and Transaction Server Legacy Profile Data for more information about how to import the Transaction Server legacy profile data using the DSU.

The Transaction Server legacy profile data is used to customize the MICR fields in the detail records that are written by tasks such as:
  • ICRE
  • MCRE
To change the fields, do the following:
  1. Open the spreadsheet containing the profile with the fields to be updated. Table 1 shows sample data for a legacy profile definition.
  2. Modify the field values
  3. Run the DSU to import the data
After the legacy profile data has been imported, those legacy profile values are available for tasks to use to modify the values written to the extract files.
