Configure the Data Object to Use a Parameter

Create a customerTrim_FF data object to add as the Write transformation in the mapping. Configure the data object to use a parameter of type String for the output file name.

     data object based on the
    customerTrim.csv
     file.
  2. To use a parameter for the output file, perform the following steps:
    1. In the
      Parameters
       tab of the data object, click the
      New
       button ( "" ) to create a new parameter.
    2. In the
      Name
       column, change the parameter name as
      Param_TgtFile
      .
    3. In the
      Default Value
       column, click the
      Open
       button ( "" ).
      The
      Edit Parameter Value
       window appears.
    4. Enter the default file name value as
      customerTrim.csv
       and click
      OK
      .
  3. Save the
