tFileOutputRaw – Docs for ESB 5.x

Component family

File/Output

Function

tFileOutputRaw handles the output
data in a Job that provides a single column of output data.

Purpose

This component takes data which is provided by another component
in the form of a single column.

Basic settings

Schema and Edit
Schema

A schema is a row description, it defines the number of fields to be processed and
passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-in or stored remotely in the
Repository.

Since version 5.6, both the Built-In mode and the Repository mode are
available in any of the Talend solutions.

Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the
current schema is of the Repository type, three options are
available:

Built-in: No property data stored
centrally.

Repository: Select the repository
file where the properties are stored. The fields that follow are
completed automatically using the data retrieved.

Filename

The name of and path to the output file to be processed, which you
can enter manually between double quotes or browse and select by
clicking the […] button.

Encoding

If the output is a string, select the encoding type from the list
or select Custom and define it
manually.

Die on error

Select this check box to stop the execution of the Job when an
error occurs. Clear the check box to skip the row on error and
complete the process for error-free rows. If needed, you can collect
the rows on error using a Row >
Reject link.

To catch the FileNotFoundException, you also need to
select this check box.

Advanced settings

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to gather the processing metadata at the Job
level as well as at each component level.

Global Variables

FILENAME_PATH: the path of the input file. This is an
After variable and it returns a string.

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the
component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This
variable functions only if the Die on error check box is
cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable
functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl +
Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.
