Replicator for Text/CSV files

Please note the basic instructions for setting up a replicator on the page Replicator Wizard.

Text or CSV (comma-separated values) files contain one data record per line. The fields of a data record are separated by a separator (e.g., a comma). A field can be enclosed by quotation marks. The first line usually contains the names of the fields. Supported character sets are ASCII, UTF-8 and Unicode (UTF16-LE). The character set is determined by means of the BOM (byte order marker) of the file.
