tFileProperties

Creates a single row flow that displays the main properties of the processed
file.

tFileProperties Standard properties

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

The Standard
tFileProperties 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 fields to be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema of this component is read-only. It describes the main properties of the specified file. You can click the […] button next to Edit schema to view the predefined schema which contains the following fields: abs_path: the absolute path of the file. dirname: the directory of the file. basename: the name of the file. mode_string: the access mode of the file, r and w for read and write permissions respectively. size: the file size in bytes. mtime: the timestamp indicating when the file was last modified, in milliseconds that have elapsed since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 UTC, Jan 1, 1970). mtime_string: the date and time the file was last modified.
File	Name or path to the file to be processed and/or the variable to be used. For further information about how to define and use a variable in a Job, see Talend Studio User Guide. Warning: Use absolute path (instead of relative path) for this field to avoid possible errors.
Calculate MD5 Hash	Select this check box to check the MD5 of the downloaded file.

Schema and Edit
schema

A schema is a row description, it defines the fields to be processed and passed on to
the next component.

The schema of this component is read-only. It describes the main
properties of the specified file. You can click the […] button next to Edit schema to view the predefined schema
which contains the following fields:

abs_path: the absolute
path of the file.
dirname: the directory of
the file.
basename: the name of the
file.
mode_string: the access
mode of the file, r and
w for read and write
permissions respectively.
size: the file size in
bytes.
mtime: the timestamp
indicating when the file was last modified, in milliseconds
that have elapsed since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 UTC, Jan 1,
1970).
mtime_string: the date
and time the file was last modified.

File

Name or path to the file to be processed and/or the variable to be
used.

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

Calculate MD5 Hash

Select this check box to check the MD5 of the downloaded
file.

Advanced settings

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

Global Variables

Global Variables	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.

Displaying the properties of a processed file

This Java scenario describes a very simple Job that displays the properties of the
specified file.

Procedure

Drop a tFileProperties component and a
tLogRow component from the Palette onto the design workspace.
Right-click on tFileProperties and connect it
to tLogRow using a Main
Row link.
In the design workspace, select tFileProperties.
Click the Component tab to define the basic
settings of tFileProperties.
Set Schema type to Built-In.
If desired, click the Edit schema button to
see the read-only columns.
In the File field, enter the file path or
browse to the file you want to display the properties for.
In the design workspace, select tLogRow and
click the Component tab to define its basic
settings. For more information, see tLogRow.
Press F6 to execute the Job.

The properties of the defined file are displayed on the console.
