Advanced Properties

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

The following table describes the advanced properties that you configure for complex file targets in a streaming mapping:
Property
Description
Operation Type

This is a read-only property.
File Directory
The location of the complex file target.
At run time, the Data Integration Service creates temporary directories in the specified file directory to manage the target files.
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 be 512 characters or less.
