The role of the parser is to take the messages that have been delimited by the extractor and build a set of mappings of string values to the Common Base Event attributes.

1. In the left pane of the Adapter editor, select Configuration > Context Instance > Parser. The right pane will display the parser information.

   

2. Type the Description, Separator Token,and Designation Token.
3. To add a Common Base Event attribute, select CommonBaseEvent > Add. In the popup menu, select the attribute you want to add. The attribute is added to the CommonBaseEvent node.
4. To add a substitution rule to the Common Base Event attribute, select the Attribute > Add > Substitution Rule. The substitution rule details are displayed in the right pane of the editor.

For a detailed description of parser component properties, see the Configuration file structure reference document. For information on Common Base Events, see the Common Base Event model
