Running a Job

This procedure assumes TrueAddress (TA) has already been installed/registered and the most current data has been downloaded and is ready for use. In addition, it assumes that the Client is using the default TA directories created during the installation process.

The following steps are required for generating a data file:

  1. Make note of the location of the List or Name file (the location of the file is called out in the XML file created in step 3 below).

  2. Create a Form file (if necessary).

  3. Create a job XML file to define the fields and format used for the generated output file, making note of where the job XML file is saved (the location will need to be specified on the command line – see step 5). The job XML file should refer to the Form file (if applicable) and input file called out in steps 1 and 2 above; as well as the output file location.

  4. On the computer or server, navigate to the main ‘TrueAddress’ directory.

  5. Run the batch command that calls out the TrueAddress_config.xml file and the job XML file created as part of step 3 above to generate the data file.

Copy

Windows Example:

c:\WB\TrueAddress\TrueAddress.exe TrueAddress_config.xml XML\[client xml file name].xml
Copy

Linux Example:

 ./run_TrueAddress.sh XML/[client xml file name].xml

If directories are being used other than the default directories provided for the various components that are required for generating an output file (for example, the Client’s XML files are being saved to a location other than the default installation “XML” directory, then the batch command documented above must be modified accordingly.

If an error message is returned when attempting to run a batch command, refer to Troubleshooting in this Guide for assistance.
