Lesson 1: Setting up a text file data source

In this lesson, you create a new text file to store order information.

Prerequisites

This lesson assumes that you have the roles and privileges listed in the Privileges section at the start of this tutorial: Tutorial: Using direct row handling.

Task

Create a new blank text file.

Add the following tab-delimited values representing the comment_id, order_id, and order_comment to the file:

786	34	OK, ship promotional material.
787	35	Yes, the product is going out of production.
788	36	No, your commission cannot be increased...

Save the file in your working directory.

This tutorial assumes c:\MLdirect as the working directory for server-side components. Save the file as orderResponses.txt in this directory.
