Type converter properties

Properties to configure in order to process your records using Type converter. You can add as many converters as you want in the processor configuration.

Overview of the Type converter configuration panel.
Information noteWarning:
  • The Type converter processor cannot process sub-records. If you want to convert these records, you need to use a Field selector processor before in order to reorganize the records and put them on top of the schema.
  • If you have a CSV dataset on S3 and want to use it with a Type converter processor in your pipeline, you need first to define a quote (") in the Text Enclosure Character field when creating the S3 dataset otherwise an error will be thrown.

Information noteTip: You have the possibility to apply multiple conversions on the same field. For example, you can convert a String type field that contains a date into a Long type field, and then use this generated Long type field to convert it into a DateTime type field.
