Running the File Parser Process

Run the File Parser process to load the application data from a text file into the staging tables. Each application is loaded as an admission transaction based on the default transaction code entered on the Mapping page.

Use the Run File Parser page to run the File Parser process.

If a file is attached, CS processes the file and any values in the File Path List grid are ignored.

If no file is attached, CS uses either File Path or File List for processing.

For File Path, you can use wildcards in the file name. Use an asterisk (*) or one or more question marks (?) to match files in the specified location.

• An asterisk (*) matches zero or more characters at its position. For example, with File Path set to /<file path>/SAD_PROSPECTS_2025.csv, CS selects all files whose names start with SAD_PROSPECTS_2025 and end with .csv. In this set, the second and third files below are processed, not the first:

  • Prospects_2024_01.csv

  • Prospects_2025_1234.csv

  • Prospects_2025_07.csv

• A question mark (?) matches exactly one character at its position. For example, with File Path set to /<file path>/SAD_PROSPECTS_2025_??.csv, CS selects files with any two characters before .csv. In this set, only the third file is processed:

  • Prospects_2024_01.csv

  • Prospects_2025_1234.csv

  • Prospects_2025_07.csv
