Creating a convert service

Use the New Service wizard to create a convert service.

A convert service requires a table map. During the creation of a service, you can select or create a table map.

The fully qualified name of a convert service consists of the following: identifier.name.

identifier
Identifier that serves as the prefix for the convert service name (1 to 8 characters).
name
Name assigned to the convert service (1 to 12 characters).

When you create convert service, it is helpful to use a logical set of naming conventions to identify the use for each and to organize them for easy access.

To create a convert service:

  1. Expand a folder in the Directory Explorer to contain the service, right-click Convert Services, and click New Service. The New Service wizard opens.
  2. Complete the steps of the wizard.

    You must select or create a table map. You can enter a name for the target file or choose to overwrite the source file.

The new convert service is displayed in the Convert Service Editor.
