Creating and loading input samples

You create a sample by recording the input, and writing the output to a file. To make the file available to the PageIN tool, you must import it to a resource set connected to the corresponding Message. To encode the sample file according to a specific code page, you can use the -grbcodepage startup argument, see the Startup argument reference.

To record the input

With this method, you create a simple Project with a Platform and a Runtime configuration – and no Message.

1	Create a new Platform

2	Add the appropriate input connector and a Null output connector to the Platform.

3	If you intend to use filter chains in the real Project, you must add the same filter chain to this Project’s input connector.

4	Specify the startup arguments -reconly and -grb. See the Startup argument reference.

5	Create a Runtime configuration to which you add the Platform. You do not have to configure the Runtime configuration - just add the Platform to it.

6	Export the Project.

7	Run the Project and record the input.

The result file is shown in the path defined by the -grb argument. The file is called allpages.<input connector name>. Import this file to the appropriate resource set.

 

To load the sample

1	Select File > Open Sample. The Select Resource dialog box opens.

2	Browse to and select the resource.
