How to read .xlsb file

Hi

I have to read data from .xlsb file. I tried to use Excel parser but it is throwing error.

  • kumar25 - My dev team is stating that this is currently not supported by our Excel Parser snap.  My major concern with using a Script snap to handle the parsing is that the file would either need to be passed as a single binary document, consuming as much memory as the file size, which can be quite large, or you would need to place the file on the Snaplex node before parsing and ensure that the SnapLogic process has read permissions to it.  

    Having the Script snap perform the parsing also requires that you install and maintain the libraries required to parse. 

    While is is feasible, I might recommend that you see if the source can provide the more standard XLSX format before going that route.

    Another snaplogic pipeline could created within snaplogic for automated testing. Thats a far better way than writing junit code for it.

      Are there any standard testing strategies for testing the database views and web services?
