Configuring Network Integrity File Parser Processors

This procedure assumes that the file parser processor has already been created and added to an action. You cannot configure the file parser processor unless it belongs to an action. See "Creating Network Integrity Processors" and "Adding Existing Processors to Network Integrity Actions" for more information.

The File Parameter field is mandatory and indicates what context parameter holds the reference to the files to be parsed at run time. The context parameter holding the file references must be output by a predecessor processor in the sequence of processors in the action. The processor outputting the file parameter is typically a file parser processor that has transferred the files from a remote system, but it can be any type of processor.

To configure a file parser processor:

On the Processor editor Details tab, in the Parser Type field, specify the type of file to be parsed.
In the File Parameter field, specify the input file parameter:
1. Next to the File Parameter field, click Select.
  
  The Select Output Parameter dialog box appears, listing java.util.Collection.java.io.File context parameters output by predecessor processors in the sequence of processors in the action. If there are no available context parameters, an error message appears.
2. Select a parameter.
3. Click OK.
Configure the file parser processor for the selected parser type:
- If you specified the ASCII option in the Parser Type field, configure the ASCII file parser processor settings.
  
  See "Configuring Network Integrity File Parser Processor ASCII Settings".
- If you specified the XML option in the Parser Type field, configure the XML file parser processor settings.
  
  See "Configuring Network Integrity File Parser Processor XML Settings" for more information.
Add context parameters.

See "About Context Parameters for Network Integrity Processors" for more information.
Save the processor.
