Importing a File-AID/RDX Extract Text Trace File

When File-AID/RDX creates a mainframe extract, it produces a trace file logging all of the events in the extraction process. Data Visualizer enables you to examine what occurred during extraction and optimize your extract specification to produce the desired data. If you previously exported a visualized extract mainframe trace file to a text file, you can import that file back into Data Visualizer without needing to access the original extract mainframe trace file.

To import a File-AID/RDX extract text trace file

  1. In the Import view, click File-AID/RDX to view the Import source list.
  2. From the Import source list, select Extract text trace file and click Import.. The Open dialog box appears.
  3. Select a host from the Host drop-down list. If prompted, enter host login credentials and click OK.
  4. In the Name field, enter filter criteria for dataset selection and click List.

  5. Browse to and select the desired extract text trace file, then click OK. The Data Visualizer will appear with the selected trace file displayed in the Data Visualizer window.
