About the Feed Validator tool
The Feed Validator tool is a stand-alone executable that can be used to verify the integrity of transaction feeds that the customer provides to Detect. The Feed Validator scans feed folders and individual files and produces a report about the feed status. The report contains information about the following types of problems:
*
missing feed files
*
misspelled field names
*
missing or out-of-sequence fields
*
incorrectly formatted data in the fields
Any of these errors can cause Detect to fail to run.
The typical time to use this tool is during the early implementation phase, when you are introducing a new feed file type (data source).
The tool can be used by one user at a time, but many instances of this tool can work simultaneously.
*
This tool can only run on a machine that has Detect installed. Also, the tool needs the database instance containing the Detect metadata to compare to the feed files.
