Companion for Integration - Validation

Companion for Integration - Validation is an online service that aims to ease the development of Companion for Integration configuration files.

Goals

Writing configuration files can be tricky. Any configuration change must be validated in a test database. This can be done in a very fast way using this tool.

Companion for Integration - Validation provides a sandbox to test configuration files online, without any installation required. Its interface allows configuration and StepXML files to be uploaded and edited on-the-fly. Resulting tables, documents, etc. can then be reviewed on the same page, and the configuration can be adjusted and submitted again in one-click.

Interface

1. Text editor
2. Load a file into the editor
3. Select a destination
4. Submit data for validation

WARNING

The size limit for both files is 1MB. If your StepXML file is too long, consider exporting only a few tables at a time.
