Configuring the data source

Procedure

  1. Double-click the tFileInputDelimited component to open its Basic settings view on the Components tab.
  2. In the File name/Stream field, specify the path to the CSV file that contains the family data to read.
    The input CSV file used in this example is as follows:
    Name;Gender;Age;Family
Jenny;Female;24;the Johnsons
Jack;Male;26;the Johnsons
Richard;Male;35;the Blacks
Anne;Female;36;the Whites
Helen;Female;28;the Blacks
Tom;Male;38;the Whites
  3. In the Header field, specify the number of rows to skip as header rows. In this example, the first row of the CSV file is the header row.
  4. Click the [...] button next to Edit schema to open the Schema dialog box, and define the input schema based on the structure of the input file. In this example, the input schema is composed of six columns: name (integer), gender (String), age (Integer), and family (String).
    When done, click OK to close the Schema dialog box and propagate the schema to the next component.
