Setting configuration parameters in the QAS files

Procedure

  1. For both Linux and Windows, edit the QAWORLD.INI file to configure the related country section for tQASBatchAddressRow's output schema.

    For example, if your address layout for Luxembourgian addresses has three lines, the configuration could look like the following:

    [LUX]

CountryBase=LUX
CleaningAction=Address

LUXAddresLineCount=3
LUXAddresLine=W60
LUXAddresLine=W60
LUXAddresLine=W60,C11,L11

    This example contains the following parameters:

    • LUXAddressLineCount=3 where 3 is the number of lines of the address; and
    • LUXAddressLineN where the values are element codes separated by commas. In this example, LUXAddressLine3=W60,C11,L11 means that the max width of the third line (LUXAddressLine3) of the address is 60 characters (W60). The postal code (C11) and the locality (L11) appear on this line.
    • LUXCapitaliseItem=L11 means that the locality (L11) appears in upper case in the formatted address.

    For more information about setting the output address format in qaworld.ini, see QAS documentation.

  2. Set the path and the library path environment variables to point to the QAS files.

    For Linux, open the ~/.profile file in your home folder and add the following lines, modify them according to your extract location:

    # for QAS Batch JNI
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/qasbatch/apps  #the folder which contains qaworld.ini
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/jni_wrapper_folder

    For Windows, add the path to the folder which contains QAWORLD.INI to the PATH environment variable.

  3. If you install QAS Batch API manually on Linux, do the following:
    1. Add a new line at the end of ./apps/qalicn.ini and put a valid license.
    2. Put valid files which contain country address data into the right folder, and configure qawserve.ini to add country support. There must be three elements for each country line: a short name, a full country name, and data path which can be relative or absolute.
