Preparing for an input format

For each input format, you must prepare a composite operator that reads a file and parses the content, in the <namespace>.chainprocessor.reader.custom namespace. The composites are typically named file reader composites.

Before you begin

For each input format, you use either the built-in parsers for the ASN.1, CSV and fixed-sized structure formats, or you already integrated a new parser as described in “Integrating a new parser”.

Procedure

Run the following procedure for each input format.

  1. Use the <namespace>.chainprocessor.reader.custom.FileReaderCustom composite operator if your ITE application processes one input format only or create a copy of it and rename the new file and composite operator if your ITE application processes many input formats.

  2. Open the new file reader composite operator in the SPL editor.

  3. Replace the contained call to the FileReaderCSV operator with the required one, which is either FileReaderASN1, FileReaderCSV, FileReaderStructure or a composite that you prepared as described in “Integrating a new parser”. Provide the parameters that are required for your use case.

  4. Save the file reader composite operator.
