tFileInputRaw – Docs for ESB 7.x

tFileInputRaw

Reads all data in a raw file and sends it to a single output column for subsequent
processing by another component.

tFileInputRaw Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tFileInputRaw running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard
tFileInputRaw component belongs to the File family.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend
products
.

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.

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

  • View schema: choose this
    option to view the schema only.

  • Change to built-in property:
    choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes.

  • Update repository connection:
    choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether
    to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion. If you just want to
    propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata
    again in the Repository Content
    window.

 

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

Warning: Use absolute path (instead of relative path) for
this field to avoid possible errors.

Mode

Read the file as a string: The
content of the file is read as a string.

Read the file as a bytes array:
The content of the file is read as a bytes
array
.

Stream the file: As soon as the
first character is entered in the source file, it is read
immediately.

Encoding

If you are using the Read the file as a
string
mode, 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

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.

For further information about variables, see
Talend Studio

User Guide.

Usage

Usage rule

Use this component to provide input data for Jobs that require a
single column of data or that require a whole file to be read as a
single column.
