In this workshop you will get hands on with the File Parser. You can explore the fit for your institution’s need and learn from the architects that designed it. You will see new features that will be delivered soon that include an extension point to calculate field values based on your own application class.
The File Parser is very powerful and flexible including the following abilities and much much more:
- Configurable file formats
- Configurable field formatting
- Extension points for custom field calculations
- Supports most file formats (delimited, flat, etc)
- Supports complex files with varied content
(e.g. header,detail, trailer)
- Supports field value mappings/conversion (e.g. CA = California)
- Supports hierarchical staging table structures
