Translate Data

Analyze and save captured TDS protocol data to a file.

To analyze captured TDS protocol data and save the text representation of that data to a file, enter:

Ribo input_capture_file output_file

where:

input_capture_file is the file from which to analyze previously captured data.
output_file is the file in which to save the translated data. If you do not specify an output file, the translated data is sent to standard output (stdout).

The output file displays:

SQL statements sent to the server
Parameters sent to the server
Results returned from the server

Examples

To use the listener port on local machine port 2638 and translate the TDS protocol data on the fly as the data is being captured, enter:
```
Ribo -l 2638 -t
```
The data is saved to outX.tds where X matches capX.tds.

To translate captured TDS protocol data, enter:
```
Ribo cap0.tds tds0.out
```

Note: Captured TDS protocol data saved to a file contains sensitive user authentication information and may contain confidential company or customer data. To protect this confidential data from unauthorized or accidental disclosure, the files containing captured data must be properly protected using file permissions or encryption.
