Using the iSIGHT File Parser Component to Create a Parse

While it is possible to create new parses with the iSIGHT File Parser, it is recommended that you use the Fast Parser component or the Data Exchanger component to create new parses.

Any of the files, parameters, or the type of parse can be changed or imported using the iSIGHT File Parser Component Editor.

  1. Double-click the iSIGHT File Parser component icon .

    The iSIGHT File Parser Component Wizard appears.

  2. Click Cancel to exit the wizard.

    The iSIGHT File Parser Component Editor appears.

  3. From the Parse Type list, select the type of parse that you want to create:

    Option Description
    Input Produces a file from data.
    Output Extracts data from a file.

  4. Click Browse on each of the tabs on the left side of the editor, and specify the file for that part of the parse.

    You can select either an FDC file or a description file. If you select a description file, you can choose a single FDC file from within the description file.

    Once you select an FDC file, the iSIGHT File Parser component attempts to determine all the parameters that are required. However, you should verify that all the needed parameters are listed.

  5. Click OK to save your changes and to close the iSIGHT File Parser Component Editor.
