Exporting Candidates for Conversion


To export conversion candidates for a given object type

  • Launch Consoleapps.exe as described in Parameters for Running Consoleapps.exe to Convert Strings and use the ConversionExport business service method with the parameters listed in Table 39.

    For example:

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

Table 39.  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.

Object

Y

The Siebel object type whose strings are exported, for example Control.

LogFile

N

The name of the log file.

Language

N

The language used as the primary language to match when searchng for duplicate symbolic strings. For example, suppose two symbolic strings each have 3 child records, an English (ENU), a French (FRA) and a German (DEU) record. 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. 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. Default is True.

UseExactMatch

N

True/False value. When set to true, records are considered as match only when they all the same amount of language records and for each of the language, they have the same values. That's Conversion won't consider partial match. Default value is False.

SkipInactive

N

True/False value. When set to true, the conversion process skips all records with the Inactive property =Y. Default value is True.
