INI Options

This table explains the various options you can set in the FIXOFFS utility.

Control Group

Option

Description

Environment

FSISYSINI

Identifies the name and location of the FSISYS.INI file.

MasterResource

Deflib

Defines the path to the default files.

Defaults to ..\deflib\.

Data

TrnDFDFile

Required. Identifies the TRNFILE (generated by GenTrn and read by GenData) and the NEWTRN file (written by GenData and read by GenWIP and GenArc).

If you omit the path, the utility looks in the \deflib directory.

 

DataPath

Identifies the default location for the input and output files, such as the NAFILE.DAT, POLFILE.DAT, and recipient batch files.

Defaults to ..\data\.

 

NewTrn

Identifies the name of the NEWTRN.DAT file. If you omit the path, the utility looks in the directory you defined in the DataPath option.

 

NAFILE

Required. Identifies the NAFILE.DAT file name and path. If you omit the path, the utility looks in the directory you defined in the DataPath option.

 

POLFILE

Required. Identifies the POLFILE.DAT file name and path. If you omit the path, the utility looks in the directory you defined in the DataPath option.

Print_Batches

*

By default, all print batches identified under this group can be corrected (if located). All names will either contain an explicit path or should default to DATAPATH.

If omitted, the utility processes only the NEWTRN.DAT file.

DocsetNames

GroupName1

GroupName2

TransactionID

These options typically correspond to the Key1 (Company), Key2 (line of business), and KeyID (Policy number) fields. The utility uses these fields to get the DFD names for fields as the default for log information.

FixOffsets

LogFields

This option overrides the default DocsetNames fields for log information. You can create a comma- or semicolon-delimited list of field names the utility will retrieve and print from each NewTrn record it corrects. The order of the names in your list determines the log output line.

Defaults to Company, LOB, PolicyNumber

 

LogFile

Identifies the file which receives the logging information. Including this option enables the log option. If you omit this option, you can enable logging using the command line option.

Defaults to FIXOFFS.LOG.

 

OutPath

The path for the output files the utility creates.

Defaults to the path you set in the DATAPATH option.

 

NewTrn

Name of the new NEWTRN file.

Defaults to FXNEWTRN.DAT. If you omit the path, the utility, default to the OUTPATH option.

 

X_OFFSET

Name of field that contains the offsets for the extract file. The NEWTRN.DAT file and the print batches must be sorted by this field.

Defaults to X_OFFSET.

 

NA_OFFSET

Name of field that contains the offsets for the NA file.

Defaults to NA_OFFSET.

 

LOGTRANSACTIONS

Log messages for each transaction, this option is overrode by command line parameter -LOG

Defaults to No.

 

POL_OFFSET

Name of field that will contain the offsets for the POL file.

Defaults to POL_OFFSET.

Fix_Batches

*

This group and option will list all batches that are to be corrected. The option names (on the left of the equal) must match a known batch from Print_Batches. The option value (right side of the equation) will identify the new name and path for the output file. If no path is specified, default to OUTPATH.

Defaults to the Print_Batches control group, if you defined the OutPath option. If you defined the OutPath option, the utility assigns FXBAT00, FXBAT01, and so on.

The utility displays a warning or an error message for any missing INI value it expected to find in the INI file. Here is an example:

WARNING <FixOffsets> <NA_OFFSET> Not defined in INI file

Default to: NA_OFFSET

The second line indicates what the utility used as a default.
