Configuring the Structure Parser transformation to access flat files

To ensure that the Structure Parser transformation can access the files in the reference file, configure the Field Mapping settings.

On the Structure Parser transformation

Field Mapping

tab, map the field in the

Incoming Field

panel to the

File Path

field in the

Structure Parser Input Fields

panel.
