Viewing in-process data
At any stage of your Job execution, you might want to check the actual data being
processed, either before you run the Job (on the input component) or after the Job has
been executed to view quickly the output (on the output component).
Result Data Viewer
About this task
The Data Viewer feature is available on all components that handle data flows (as input or output) and allows you to view the data the way it has been set. You will thus be able to spot any setting errors.
Procedure
-
Right-click and select Data Viewer from
the pop-up menu.
The Data Viewer dialog box displays the content of the component selected.
You can set the display parameters and filter the content using the following parameters:- Rows/page: enter the maximum number of rows to be displayed per page.
- Limits: enter the maximum number of rows to be displayed in the viewer.
- Null: select the Null check box above a given column to filter any null values from the column.
- Condition: enter a condition on which to filter the content displayed.
-
Click Set parameters and continue to go
to the Select context dialog box.
From the drop-down context list, you can select the context variables you want to verify.
Raw Data Viewer
Some components (of the File family) provide also an extra tab in the viewer. This tab shows the raw data content as it is in the actual file.
This file content viewer shows the data as it is in the file disregarding your setting. This can be convenient to spot the files that are not well formed.
