Non-Destructive Transaction Editor

TLOGic's Transaction Editor allows you to modify transaction data for testing, debugging, and development purposes. The original TLOG file is never modified - instead, a cloned copy of the transaction is created and exported as a new file.

Editing Capabilities:

• Edit Field Values: Modify any field value within a transaction string
• Add Fields: Insert new fields at any position within a string
• Remove Fields: Delete individual fields from strings
• Add Strings: Insert new transaction strings at any position
• Remove Strings: Delete entire strings from the transaction
• Duplicate Strings: Clone existing strings for quick modifications

Field Type Support:

• ASCII (A): Text fields
• Packed BCD (P): Numeric values in BCD encoding
• Numeric (N): Numeric ASCII values
• Binary (B): Raw binary data
• Integer (I): 4-byte integer values
• Date (D): Date fields (YYMMDD)
• Time (T): Time fields (HHMMSS)

Editor Features:

• Undo/Redo: Full history with up to 50 undo steps
• Validation: Real-time field validation with warnings and errors
• Schema Awareness: Uses TLOG metadata schema for field types and sizes
• Export: Download edited transaction as a new binary file

How to Use:

1. Select a transaction in the Raw Data view
2. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) in the toolbar
3. The Transaction Editor modal opens with a cloned copy of the transaction
4. Expand strings to view and edit individual fields
5. Make your changes - the original TLOG remains untouched
6. Click Export to download the modified transaction as a new file

RIO Server Testing

Send TLOG transactions to a RIO Server and receive RIO Responses. Ideal for testing RIO Server configurations and validating transaction processing.

About RIO Server:

RIO Server consumes TLOG (and non-TLOG) data from Retail Store Systems (POS Systems). The RIO Client, hosted on the POS Store System, transmits TLOG data to the server using the RioRequest XML message payload. RIO Server then transforms that data into POSLOG or other formats for downstream systems.

Key Features:

• Send single or multiple TLOG transactions to RIO Server
• View and analyze RIO Response messages
• Configure target RIO Server settings via Config button
• Export results for review and documentation
• Test different RIO Server environments (local, hosted)

About TLPServer:

TLPServer is a hosted server (currently on Azure, but can run locally) that provides POSLOG and other transformations for TLOG data. It generates XML and production POSLOG outputs used by TLOGic for comparison and validation.

Load Testing

Create and analyze performance tests for RIO Server environments. TLOGic generates complete, ready-to-run test packages - just install the testing tool and go!

Key Features:

• Generate complete, ready-to-run test packages for JMeter and k6
• Use your actual TLOG transactions for realistic load simulation
• Configurable store simulation (1001-3200 stores), timing, and concurrency
• Includes all scripts, data files, config, and documentation
• One-click run scripts for immediate execution

Complete Package Contents:

Results Analysis:

• Import and visualize load test results
• Compare multiple test runs side-by-side
• Identify performance regressions or improvements
• Track throughput, latency, and error rates

TQ Tool - RIO Transmit Queue File Viewer

View and parse RIO Transmit Queue (TQ) files with support for TLOG, Non-TLOG, EPSLOG, and TAX records. TQ files (typically RIONTQ.DAT) are binary files that store queued messages waiting to be transmitted to the RIO Server.

Supported Record Types:

Key Features:

• File Upload: Drag & drop or browse to load RIONTQ.DAT files
• Record List View: See all records with MsgType, date, size, and CRC status

• Search & Filter: Filter by MsgType, date, CRC status, flags, and payload size

Advanced EPSLOG Parsing:

For EPSLOG (995) records, TQ Tool provides sophisticated FID (Field ID) parsing with type-aware formatting:

• 204 Supported Fields: Complete field definition map with names and types
• Type-Specific Formatting:
  • A ASCII - Text with XML preservation (e.g., <HighRiskItemsPresent>true</HighRiskItemsPresent>)
  • H Hex - Binary data as hexadecimal
  • P BCD - Packed Binary Coded Decimal
  • I Integer - Little Endian integers with currency formatting for amounts
  • C Character - Single byte character display
• FID Table: View all parsed fields with FID number, field name, data type, formatted value, and raw hex
• Example: Field 0xC8 (XMLUserDataRequest) displays full XML: <HighRiskItemsPresent>true</HighRiskItemsPresent>
