Parameters for GetAscii

Variable

Description

InterfaceFilter

You must own the PageGate Filter pack and the filter's support files must reside in the PageGate program directory to use this parameter.

Example: InterfaceFilter = c:\PageGateData\Filters\yourfilter.xml

This applies a filter to processed data. This allows the interfaces to apply the initial layer of data sorting and collection and then applies the filter to the result.

•Standard polling: Filter is applied against temp file with recipient, sender and message

•Advanced polling: Filter is applied against temp file with recipient, sender and message, and after lookup substitution

InterfaceFilterDebugFile

Example: InterfaceFilterrDebugFile = c:\PageGateData\Filters\GetAsciiFilter.log

When using an interface filter, you can use this parameter to output this specific filter's log to the declared location and file name.

RawInterfaceFilter

You must own the PageGate Filter pack and the filter's support files must reside in the PageGate program directory to use this parameter.

Example: RawInterfaceFilter = c:\PageGateData\Filters\yourfilter.xml

This applies a filter to raw, unprocessed data. This applies the filter before the interface has a chance to read the data.

•Standard polling: Filter is applied against the raw text file before GetAscii tries to process it

•Advanced polling: Filter is applied against each record that is found, before it is processed any further (record pattern matching done first)

RawInterfaceFilterDebugFile

Example: RawInterfaceFilterDebugFile = c:\PageGateData\Filters\GetAsciiFilter.log

When using a filter, you can use this variable to output this specific filter's log to the declared location and file name.

UseFilterDll

Note: pgfilter.exe and pgfilter.dll must reside in the PageGate program directory to use this parameter.

Example: UseFilterDll = True

Setting this parameter to true tells PageGate to use the filter dll, which is a more efficient method of running the filter.
