Sample Program

The Workbench can generate program source code with example calls to the SSA-NAME3 API in various programming languages.
To use this functionality, first make sure that you have called all of the SSA-NAME3 API functions that you wish to include, in your current Workbench session.
  1. Click the
    Sample Program
     icon at the top of the screen.
    The Select Programming Language will be displayed.
  2. Select the programming language to be generated.
    The API Functions that have been called in the current session will be automatically selected. The
    ssan3_open
     and
    ssan3_close
     will be auto-selected as they do not require additional control parameters.
  3. Unselect any API functions that is not required and click
    OK
    . In this example, a C program was requested.
  4. Click
    OK
    , a sample program in C will be displayed as shown below.
    Use the drop-down list to access examples for other languages such as Java, C++, Cobol, Visual Basic, PL/SQL etc.
    These sample programs are intended to be working examples of the call interface only. They do not include any database I/O functionality (or screen dialogue) as will be required in an actual key building or search and match program.
  5. To copy and paste the code into your application code, use the
    Edit
     menu option.
  6. To save the sample code as a starting point for your actual application, use the
    File
     menu option.
    If you require help in designing a searching and matching application using SSA-NAME3 , see the
    API REFERENCE
     guide (this contains a description of the various API calls, parameters and a high level program flow guide). Alternatively, contact your Informatica Corporation support office. Our Tech Support team will be happy to help in explaining the details and conceptual use of our products. (Ensure to check our Online Support Library for more enhanced code examples as they become available).

Diagnostic Report

At times, individual results from SSA-NAME3 calls via the Workbench or from your application may need to be explained or reported to Informatica Corporation Technical Support. In those cases, we recommend that you copy the relevant input data to the Workbench, and call SSA-NAME3 to duplicate the problem. Once you have done so, you can use the
Diagnostic Report
button to generate a report that contains the input and the results from the SSA-NAME3 call.
When you click the
Diagnostic Report
button you will be prompted to enter a description of the problem and a filename where the report can be stored. The Workbench will then create a file with your contact details and the input/output from calls to SSA-NAME3. You can then send this file to Informatica Corporation for further investigation.
You can record multiple such cases to the same report file.
