Getting an error when testing a translation with a SMAT DB from a different site.

Command output:

  Check to see if you’re testing new line or length encoded. L/E doesn’t start with MSH, it has a numeric value instead.

  SOunds like you have possibly transferred these files where the segment termination character CR got converted to a CRNL. The MSH segment goes but all of the other segments are invalid because they become messages without the require MSH segment. You should see in Hex OD terminating each segment. You may now be seeing either 0D 0A or simply 0A. Check to see what you have in the file….

  I switched to Length Encoded and the error went away. Thanks.

  Still getting an error, this time it is related to the message missing the length. I did check the SMAT DB and the MSH is in the messages.

  If you’re testing ‘length encoded’ then each message should be preceded by a 10-digit length. If this is not the case, switch to New Line or EOL.
  It all depends on how you saved/resend the message to file from SMATdb.

  So the testing tool can only test from a file and cannot test directly from the SMAT DB? Just to confirm, in order to test XLT’s using the testing tool, I’ll need to first export the message(s) to a file from the SMAT DB, and then run the XLT against the file?

  Correct. As far as I know you can’t test directly from the SMAT DB.

  Thanks Rob. That was it. Once exporting a message to a file I was able to test.
