Friday Feature – Testing PERS Files

Testing, testing, testing. Escape Online gives you the ability to generate PERS test files for this month, and next month, and the month after that. And, they let you create test files in both the XML format and the older “standard” format. Check it out!

All you have to do is select the Generate Test task in the PERS Processing activity and Escape Online is going to prompt you for a reporting period month and organization (optional if you are an all-org user).

As you know, PERS is currently supporting two file formats (XML and standard). So, Escape Online does too! See how Escape Online wrote two history records for my single request, one for each format.

That means you can use either file, or both, depending on your needs. Nice!
