Field or Control

Definition

Program Name

Select the name of the Application Engine transform program that you want to test.

Source Node

Enter the name of the node whose codeset group defines the structure of the input data. This field is used for codeset-based data translation.

Dest Node

Enter the name of the node whose codeset group defines the structure of the output data. This field is used for codeset-based data translation.

File Name

Enter the full path and name of the sample input message file.

This is the path on the application server machine or a path that can be accessed from the application server.

The file name may consist of up to 254 characters.

Message Text

This field displays the output of the transform program.

Note: For the current release, even if you do not use codesets, you still must enter values for the Source Node and Dest Node fields. You don’t need to define any nodes; just enter a string that qualifies as a valid node name (for example “ANYNODE”).
