Defining the connections linking the components

Last updated: 9/1/2026

Follow the steps below to add and define the connections that link the components in the Job.

Procedure

Next to the output component definition, enter an addConnection {} function to add a connection.
In the addConnection {} function, enter the parameters required to define the connection properties:
- Connection type
- Connection name
- Connection style
- Source component
- Target component
The example below defines a main row connection between the first tFileInputDelimited component and the tMap component.
```
addConnection {
	TYPE: "FLOW",
	NAME: "row1",
	LINESTYLE: 0,
	SOURCE: "tFileInputDelimited_1",
	TARGET: "tMap_1"
}
```
Information noteWarning:
The name of this connection must match the main input table name defined in the tMap settings.
Enter another addConnection {} function and define a lookup row connection between the section tFileInputDelimited component and the tMap component.
```
addConnection {
	TYPE: "FLOW",
	NAME: "row2",
	LINESTYLE: 8,
	SOURCE: "tFileInputDelimited_2",
	TARGET: "tMap_1"
}
```
Information noteWarning:
The name of this connection must match the lookup input table name defined in the tMap settings.
Enter another addConnection {} function and define a main row connection between the tMap component and the tFileoutputDelimited component.
```
addConnection {
	TYPE: "FLOW",
	NAME: "out",
	LINESTYLE: 0,
	SOURCE: "tMap_1",
	TARGET: "tFileOutputDelimited_1"
}
```
Information noteWarning:
The name of this connection must match the corresponding output schema and output table names defined in the tMap.
