The Tools Menu is the basis for the configuration and license registration of Inaport

### Config File Location

Inaport stores all configuration information in a file. You can create a new file, or navigate to an existing configuration file

### License Manager

You will see that the license text is in Red. This means that it is not valid. Navigate to the Inaport license file that was emailed to you. The text on the screen should then turn blue with a valid license file.

### Connector Manager

The Connector Manager allows you to set up connectors to your source and target data. A minimum of two connectors must to be set up, one for the source and one for the target data.

For more information on Connector Manager, please see the Technical Note: Connector Manager.

### User Options

The default formats below control how numbers and date/time values are displayed in the preview panes.

They also control how number and date/time variables are written to string fields in the target database.

To correctly format numbers and date/time variables, use the functions

ntos() - convert number to string

dtos() - date to string

### Text Maps

Maps contain regular expressions, and are used by functions such as textmap() to perform operations on strings.

Text Map | Type Description
Names | The Name prefix and suffix maps are used by the fname() and lname() functions to strip name prefixes and suffixes. You can enter any regular expression in these tables; all expressions will be applied to the name string.
Case | The Proper Case fix map holds "lookFor" and "replaceWith" expressions used by the pcasefix() function to fix casing of particular words e.g. "IBM" instead of "Ibm"
Text Map 1 – 3 | A TextMap holds LOOKFOR and REPLACEWITH strings, and is used by the textmap() functions to do multiple search and replace operations in a single function call.

### Enable Debug Logging

This enables you to create the filename for your debug log. Once debugging is enabled then the log file is written to.

You have now configured Inaport and are ready to create a profile
