GeoCode Logging Advisory

2016 Q4

In order to utilize your on-premise GeoCoder, you must open up a port so you may communicate with our servers (no private data is transferred through this port – this is purely for tracking purposes). Please download this file (ftp://ftp.melissadata.com/updates/GeoLogTest.zip) and follow the steps providing below to so we may assist you faster in providing a solution to your problem. This tool is to detect whether or not our servers are able to communicate with you or not.

1. Ensure you have the following files in your C:\Program Files\Melissa DATA\DQT\Data (or equivalent) folder.

mdGeoPoint.dat
mdGeoPoint.sqlsrsis
mdCbsa.dat
mdCbsa.sqlsrsis
mdGeo.cty
mdGeo.dat
mdGeo.sqlsrsis
mdGeo.license
mdGeo.plc
mdGeoCanada.db

2. Unzip the Downloaded file, and move it to your desired location.

3. Select x86 or x64 bit depending on your system architecture (if unknown, select x86).

4. Double click “GeoLogTest.exe” and click OK.

6. Enter a directory for the log file to be created (Optional).

a. If you leave as-is, the log file will be created in the same directory as your GeoLogTest.exe

b. If you choose to leave it blank, a console window will pop up with your logging information.

7. Ensure your DataPath is set to the correct location (Where your Data folder is inside your Melissa Data Folder).

8. Set your postal code (Optional).

9. Set the postal codes Plus 4 (Optional).
