Metadata File

Metadata File

The metadata file is an XML file that contains the details of the entity that the job creates. The file also contains the structure of the digital records, such as the column and row separators, and the table columns and datatypes.
The following example shows a sample template file for the structured metadata file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ATTACHMENT_DESCRIPTOR> <ENTITY> <APP_NAME>CDR</APP_NAME> <APP_VER>1.10</APP_VER> <MODULE>CDR</MODULE> <ENTITY_NAME>CDR</ENTITY_NAME> <ENTITY_DESC>CDR Records</ENTITY_DESC> </ENTITY> <FILE_DESC> <COLUMN_SEPARATOR>,</COLUMN_SEPARATOR> <ROW_SEPARATOR>%#%#</ROW_SEPARATOR> <DATE_FORMAT>yyyy-MM-dd-HH.mm.ss</DATE_FORMAT> <TABLE NAME="CDR"> <COLUMN PRIMARY_KEY="Y" ORDER="1" DATATYPE="NUMERIC" PRECISION="10">CALL_FROM</COLUMN> <COLUMN ORDER="2" DATATYPE="NUMERIC" PRECISION="10">CALL_TO</COLUMN> <COLUMN ORDER="3" DATATYPE="DATETIME">CALL_DATE</COLUMN> <COLUMN ORDER="4" DATATYPE="VARCHAR" LENGTH="100">LOCATION</COLUMN> <COLUMN ORDER="5" DATATYPE="NUMERIC" PRECISION="10" SCALE="2">DURATION</COLUMN> </TABLE> </FILE_DESC> </ATTACHMENT_DESCRIPTOR>
You can also indicate whether or not a column is nullable. Use the following syntax:
<COLUMN NULLABLE="N"> </COLUMN>
or
<COLUMN NULLABLE="Y"></ COLUMN>
.
For example:
<TABLE NAME="SAMPLE"> <COLUMN PRIMARY_KEY="Y" ORDER="9" DATATYPE="DATETIME" LENGTH="1000" NULLABLE="N">callDate_callTime</COLUMN> </TABLE>
