Create a configuration
You do not need to create new configurations for sources that use the source provider TCP XML
XProtect Transact provider. Simply use the built-in configuration Analytics.
To create a new configuration to a source, do the following:
1. Open the XProtect Transact Administrator window.
2. On the Sources tab, click Add New... if you want to add a new source or the Edit... button to
edit an existing source. Define or – if required – edit the settings of the source. You are now
ready to add your new configuration.
3. In the Create/Edit Source window, in the Configuration section, click the Add New... button.
4. In the Create Configuration window, in the Name field, type a name for the configuration.
Tip: The name may contain spaces and special characters, such as @, $, %, æ, etc.
5. Click the Capture from Source button to capture some sample transaction data on which to
base your configuration. This will open the Select Input Source window.
6. In the Select Input Source window, select the required input source, then click the Start
button to being capturing transaction data. Wait sufficiently long for at least one, but preferably
more, transactions to complete, then click the Stop button. See How to Capture transaction
Data on page for more information about capturing transaction data.
7. Click OK to return to the Create Configuration window, in which the captured transaction data
will now appear in the Raw data field.
8. You are now ready to add filters: omit characters (define which characters to remove), add
substitutions (define which characters to replace with other characters) and add line breaks.
An example configuration
The following is an example only. The example outlines the capture of a limited amount of raw
(unformatted) transaction data, and how individual elements of the raw transaction data can
subsequently be marked in order to be omitted, substituted, replaced with line breaks, indicate the
beginning/end of a transaction, etc.
In this example, do the following:
