Column Name Filters

Column Name Filters

You can filter columns in data maps based on column name. To apply column name filters, include the filterColumnGroup and filter elements in the control file.
The following statements show the elements with default values: 
<filterColumnGroup>
  <filter>
   <columnName>FILLER*</columnName>
   <exclude>true</exclude>
  </filter>
</filterColumnGroup>
You can include one or more filter elements in a filterColumnGroup element. A filter element includes the following elements:
  • columnName. Column name to be filtered.
  • exclude. Whether to include or exclude column names that match the criteria.
  • tableName. Name of the table to which the criteria apply. If the tableName element is not specified, the filter criteria apply to all tables.
To include all columns, set exclude to FALSE: 
<filterColumnGroup>
  <filter>
    <exclude>FALSE</exclude>
  </filter>
</filterColumnGroup>
The following rules apply:
  • The columName and tableName elements accept asterisks (*) and question marks (?) as wildcard characters. An asterisk represents one or more matching characters. A question mark represents a single matching character. This behavior matches that of the PowerExchange Navigator.
  • If the tableName element is not specified, the filter condition applies to all tables.
  • If multiple filter elements are defined for a table, the filter stops at the first matching criteria.
  • If no tableName element is specified and multiple filter elements are defined, only the first filter element is considered.
  • If the exclude element is set to FALSE, all columns that do not match the filter criteria are filtered.

Examples

The following example filters FILLER* from TAB1, BLANK* from TAB2, and FILTER* from TAB3. CLEAR* from TAB1 is ignored, as the FILLER* filter is already applied to TAB1. 
 
<filterColumnGroup>
 <filter>
  <columnName>FILLER*</columnName>
  <exclude>true</exclude>
  <tableName>TAB1</tableName>
 </filter>
 <filter>
  <columnName>BLANK*</columnName>
  <exclude>true</exclude>
  <tableName>TAB2</tableName>
 </filter>
 <filter>
  <columnName>FILTER*</columnName>
  <exclude>true</exclude>
  <tableName>TAB3</tableName>
 </filter>
 <filter>
  <columnName>CLEAR*</columnName>
  <exclude>true</exclude>
  <tableName>TAB1</tableName>
 </filter>
</filterColumnGroup>
The following example filters FILLER* from all tables, as tableName is not specified. All subsequent filters are ignored. 
<filterColumnGroup>
 <filter>
  <columnName>FILLER*</columnName>
  <exclude>true</exclude>
 </filter>
 <filter>
  <columnName>BLANK*</columnName>
  <exclude>true</exclude>
  <tableName>TAB2</tableName>
 </filter>
 <filter>
  <columnName>FILTER*</columnName>
  <exclude>true</exclude>
  <tableName>TAB3</tableName>
 </filter>
 <filter>
  <columnName>CLEAR*</columnName>
   <exclude>true</exclude>
   <tableName>TAB1</tableName>
 </filter>
</filterColumnGroup>
The following example filters all of the columns except BLANK* from TAB2. 
<filterColumnGroup>

 <filter>
  <columnName>BLANK*</columnName>
  <exclude>false</exclude>
  <tableName>TAB2</tableName>
 </filter>
</filterColumnGroup>
