Create and add transaction definitions
As part of defining a transaction source, you specify a definition for the source. A definition transforms the raw
data received into presentable data, so that users can view the data in XProtect Smart Client in a format that
matches real-life receipts. This is necessary, because typically the raw data consists of a single string of data,
and it can be difficult to see where the individual transactions begin and end.
Steps:
1. In the Site Navigation pane, expand Transact.
2. Select Transaction definitions.
3. Go to the Overview pane.Right-click Transaction definition and select Add new. A number of settings
appear in the Properties section.
4. Use the Start pattern and Stop pattern fields to specify what data defines the start and end of a
receipt.
5. Click Start collecting data to collect raw data from the connected data source. The more data you
collect, the smaller the risk of missing characters, for example control characters, you want to replace
or omit.
