To verify your Unix or Linux installation, follow these steps.
- Make sure Finalist has access to the database files.
-
Modify the Finalist configuration file pbfn.cfg to indicate the location of the database files. Use the Unix text editor vi or another ASCII text editor to modify the lines in the pbfn.cfg to set the City and ZIP+4 file names and the software key. For our installation example above, the appropriate lines would be:
City Directory Filename = /precisely/finalist/db/city.dir ZIP+4 Directory Filename 1 = /precisely/finalist/db/zip4us.dir SOFTWARE KEY = software key -
Go to the samples directory and run the batch driver program, using sample.job from the samples directory as the input job file.
cd /precisely/finalist/samples
../bin/finalist sample.job - After the command is completed, the sample.out, sample.val, sample.err, and sample.rpt files are created in the samples directory. The sample.out file contains the output addresses. The output addresses in this file appear in upper case. If the files are generated and the addresses are in upper case, the program ran to completion.
