Configuring the components

Procedure

  1. Double-click tFixedFlowInput to display its Basic settings view and define its properties.
  2. Click the [...] button next to Edit schema to define the schema for the input data. In this example, the schema is made of the following four columns: LastName (type String), Gender (type String), Age (type Integer) and City (type String).
    When done, click OK to validate the schema setting and close the dialog box. A new dialog box opens and asks you if you want to propagate the schema. Click Yes.
  3. Set the row and field separators in the corresponding fields if needed. In this example, use the default settings for both, namely the row separator is a carriage return and the field separator is a semi-colon.
  4. Select the Use Inline Content(delimited file) option in the Mode area and type in the input data in the Content field.
    The input data used in this example is shown below:
