Processing

Before processing actually begins, the system places each remote file in the status of Waiting to Process as it pauses to assure that the file is not still growing. If the file remains static (with the same byte count) for two minutes, it is moved onto Processing. However, if during the two minute pause the file size does change, the two minute count will restart and continue until the file size remains static.

The count for the number of files Waiting to Process will appear on the Processing tab in the workflow. These statuses (and others) are also available in the Status column menu on the Manage Files gray bar.

Once a file begins Processing, the system will begin to analyze the data, map the file to an Output Schema, if known, and prepare the data for conversion.  During Processing a file can be placed in different statuses or receive various alerts if problems arise during processing.

Note that the following file types are currently supported. If the file doesn’t match the expected format or has issues, it might not be a supported file type.

  • ASCII
  • UTF-8 fixed or delimited
  • ZIP
  • GZIP
  • Excel (xls, xlsx)
  • RAR (short for Roshal Archive)
  • JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), "depth = 1"
