Exporting Candidates for Conversion

You use consoleapp.exe to export candidates for conversion.

To export conversion candidates for a given object type

• Launch consoleapp.exe as described in Parameters for Running consoleapp.exe to Convert Strings, and use the ConversionExport business service method with the parameters listed in Table 43.

  For example:

  "ConversionExport: Filename=Control.txt,Repository=Siebel Repository, Object=Control,LogFile=ControlExport.log,Language=ENU,MatchMin=1"

  Table 43. Input Parameters for the ConversionExport Business Service Method

  Parameter	Required?	Description
  Filename	Y	The name of the export file.
  Repository	Y	The Siebel Repository name. NOTE:  The repository name is case sensitive.
  Object	Y	The Siebel object type whose strings are exported, for example, Control. NOTE:  The object name is case sensitive.
  LogFile	N	The name of the log file.
  Language	N	The language used as the primary language to match when searching for duplicate symbolic strings. For example, suppose two symbolic strings each have three child records: English (ENU), French (FRA), and German (DEU). If the Language parameter is set to ENU, then the conversion export process searches for matches between the ENU records. When it finds matches, it checks the other child records of the other languages. If all child records match (or if one has a superset of the other), they are considered matching symbolic strings.
  MatchMin	N	The minimum number of matches in a set of matching symbolic strings before it is written to the file. The default value is 2.
  SQLLog	N	The SQL log file name. When this parameter is set, the conversion process logs all SQL that is executed to the specified file.
  ExcludeNull	N	TRUE/FALSE value. When set to TRUE, it excludes null value for conversion consideration. The default value is TRUE.
  UseFullMatch	N	TRUE/FALSE value. When set to TRUE, records are matched against all the other possible match candidates before they are discarded. The default value is TRUE.
  SkipInactive	N	A TRUE or FALSE value. When set to TRUE, the conversion process skips all records with the Inactive property = Y. The default value is TRUE.
