Project Setup

When running the FSSI File Processor, we tend to treat it like a project. It has inputs, constraints, and outputs. Knowing this, helps us make sure we have all of the pieces in place.

Required Inputs

The FSSI File processor Requires the following inputs into the process:

1. Provider Files - Files that contain the mappings to the source files.
2. Source Files - The files that are to be processed.
3. Folder Structure - The FSSI File processor requires certain folders to exist. This can be augmented using the config.properties file, but the FSSI File processor defaults to the following directory structure:
   • /{Project Rooot Directory}/working/providers
   • /{Project Rooot Directory}/working/schemas
   • /{Project Rooot Directory}/working/srcfiles
   • /{Project Rooot Directory}/working/logs */{Project Rooot Directory}/working/staged
