Binary Output

Example BinaryOutput Window

A Binary Output Resource defines which of EMarket's Entity-trait data elements will be included in the Binary file outputs at run time. Binary Output is the database that EMarket creates during a run. By placing a tick next to the appropriate traits which you want saved, the data can be saved or discarded. The data set takes up a lot of space so only saving what is required can significantly reduce computer disk storage.

Note: EMarket produces data in two basic formats: binary file and text file. EMarket uses an internal binary format for efficient processing of forecast data, while text data used primarily for data post-processing in other application. EMarket can produce on-screen reports using binary data, however this data must be converted to text file (using a Reports Batch or Output Specification Resource) before it can be exported for use by other applications.
