Defining SuiteLink Processing - Finalist - 10.0

To define SuiteLink processing, follow these steps:

1. To perform Suite^Link processing, click Suite^Link. The USPS CASS regulations require Suite^Link processing. If you do not perform Suite^Link processing, Finalist does not generate a USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report).
2. From the Suite^Link drop down list, select the Suite^Link memory model for processing your file:
   • Pico — Pico. Stores no data in memory. No tables or indexes are loaded.
   • Ultra — Ultra-small. Stores no data in memory. Partial indexes are loaded.
   • Small — Small
   • Medium — Medium
   • Large — Large
   • Huge — Huge. Stores all data in memory.
   • Blank — Defaults to Large.
3. From the Shutdown Indicator drop down list, select a value to specify the action to take when encountering a Suite^Link error during the processing run:
   • WARNING — Issue warning and turn off SuiteLink processing.
   • SHUTDOWN — Stop Finalist processing when encountering a SuiteLink error.
   • IGNORE — Ignore errors and continue SuiteLink processing.
   • Blank — Defaults to WARNING.
     Note: USPS regulations require Suite^Link processing for CASS certification and to generate a USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report). Per the USPS regulations, any job that does not include Suite^Link processing, must not generate the USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report). If you are processing in a CASS-certified mode (CASS=ON), Finalist sets the Suite^Link Shutdown Indicator to "S" in order to stop processing if the Suite^Link initialization fails and to prevent generation of an invalid USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report).
