DocumentSplitter

Use the DocumentSplitter activity to split validated data into valid and invalid data.

For more details on Document Splitter, refer to the Document Splitter Technical Manual PDF document.

Docsplitter Output

Use of the DocumentSplitter activity results in the following output:
  • A file containing the valid data
  • A file containing the invalid data
  • An XML or delimited report containing the status of each claim or other data being split, plus additional information.
Note the following about DocumentSplitter output:
  • When using content-based splitting or split-point grouping, DocumentSplitter will create multiple split files.
  • For EDI, output includes a CR/LF after the segment terminator unless:
    • The segment terminator in the input file is a LF
    • You include the following section in a setup file 
      [Options]
OutputEDIWithCRLF=0

  • DocumentSplitter fixes the output file's segment counts by default.
