Configuring the input data

Procedure

Double-click the tRowGenerator component to open the Row Generator editor.
Click the [+] button to add four columns and set their properties:
- id, type Integer, 2 characters long.
- firstName, type String, 15 characters long
- lastName, type String, 15 characters long
- city, type String, 15 characters long
Define the function for each column:
- For the id column, select Numeric.sequence from the Function list to generate sequence numbers.
- For the firstName column, select TalendDataGenerator.getFirstName from the Function list to generate random first names.
- For the lastName column, select TalendDataGenerator.getLastName from the Function list to generate random family names.
- For the city column, select TalendDataGenerator.getUsCity from the Function list to generate random city names.
In the Number of Rows for RowGenerator field, specify the number of data rows you want to generate, 10 in this example.
Click the Preview button on the Preview tab to validate the generator settings.
When done, click OK to close the editor and click Yes when prompted to propagate the schema to the next component.
