Advanced Properties

The Developer tool displays the advanced properties for complex file targets in the Input transformation in the

The following table describes the advanced properties that you configure for complex file targets in a streaming mapping:
Property
Description
Operation Type
Indicates the type of data object operation.
This is a read-only property.
File Directory
The directory location of the complex file target.
If the directory is in HDFS, enter the path without the node URI. For example,
/user/lib/testdir
specifies the location of a directory in HDFS. The path must not contain more than 512 characters.
If the directory is in the local system, enter the fully qualified path. For example,
/user/testdir
specifies the location of a directory in the local system.
The Data Integration Service ignores any subdirectories and their contents.
