The HoganFileConvertor is supplied with the
EA installation and is located in the
bin folder. In general, you don't need to execute the HoganFileConvertor manually as the tool will automatically generate the
conversion for you on the first run or whenever the files are changed. However, while preparing the environment, it may be
useful to execute it in order to validate your input file against the expected format. Input parameters have two possible
formats:
- The folder containing all configuration files followed by an output name
- The filenames listed one by one followed by an output name.
The utility creates an
.flt file which is a flattened
EA expected format containing all necessary information to analyze Hogan calls. It also creates a detailed log specifying any
errors or warnings and giving details for executing the utility. It is good practice to check the execution log after performing
the conversion. Some of the messages can be ignored; for example, if you don't have transaction definitions you may get the
following error: "[ERROR] C:\hogan\HoganExample\hoganConfig\CDMFTXNS.hogan does not exist." but the program will continue
and generate the output. As long as you don't need transaction definitions, you can proceed with the analysis. Here is an
example command for using the HoganFileConvertor from a command prompt:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Micro Focus\Enterprise Analyzer\Bin\HoganFileConvertor.exe ”C:\samplecode\hoganconfig”, ”C:\samplecode\hoganconfig\HoganCfg.flt”
