Editing Advanced Rules Files - trillium_discovery - trillium_quality - 17.1

Note the following guidelines:

• When you edit a rules file, the modifications only affect the current process and not other projects or processes in your workflow.
• The parser uses default file settings if the rules files are not modified.

Advanced Rules Files

• Mask definitions file. Specifies which characters are alphabetics, numericals, vowels, consonants, uppercase, lowercase, punctuation, and so on. The default mask definitions file name is maskfile.win/unx. The file is stored in the following location: path/tables/general_resources, where path is the path to the server you specified during installation. For more information, see Using Masks.

(For example, C:/Program Files/Trillium Software/MBSW/17/tsq/tables/general_resources.)

• Delimiters control file. Specifies which characters are to be used as delimiters during the parsing process and whether they are to be included in table lookup. The default delimiters control file name is delimit.win/unx. The file is stored in the following location: path\repository\projectN\tables, where path is the path to the repository you specified during the installation, repository is the name of the repository you are working with, and N is the number of your project. For more information, see About Delimiters Control Files.

(For example, C:/ProgramData/Trillium Software/Data/metabase/repository_name/project2/tables.)

• Characters control file. Contains a list of default characters (for example #, <, >, and $) that the parser process converts to spaces before table lookup. You can edit this file to add or remove characters from the list as needed; for example, remove brackets ([ ]) or asterisks (*) if you want to retain them in the output as part of a product name or part number. The default characters control file name is charctl.win/unx. The file is stored in the following location: path/tables/parser_rules, where path is the path to the server you specified during installation.

(For example, C:/Program Files/Trillium Software/MBSW/17/tsq/tables/parser_rules.)
