Detailed Description
The configuration for the Data Comparator
CANNOT be automated directly. The attribute
FilePath, along with a saved configuration file must be used.
| Note | When using the attribute FilePath to retrieve incoming files, it will validate if both the folder path is correct and that the file itself exists. |

Example Script
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ytriaAutomation Application="databaseEZ" ApplicationVersion="16.5">
<Load Server="ACME01/ACME" Select="True"/>
<Comparator FilePath="C:\comparator_config.xml"/>
</ytriaAutomation>
In the script above, the entire server "ACME01/ACME" will be loaded into the database tree in databaseEZ; all databases will be selected and loaded into the main grid. The action 'Comparator' will trigger the retrieval of the saved Data Comparator configuration file "comparator_config.xml" and run a data comparison, of the data in the main grid, based on this configuration.
