Using a file list in a Lookup transformation

Using a file list in a Lookup transformation

To use a file list in a Lookup transformation, create the text file, batch file, or shell script that creates the file list. Then configure the Lookup transformation to use the file list.
  1. Create the text file, batch file, or shell script that creates the file list and install it locally to the Secure Agent.
  2. In the Mapping Designer, select the Lookup transformation.
  3. On the
    Lookup Object
     tab, select a flat file connection.
  4. To use a manually created file list, perform the following steps:
    1. In the
      Source Type
       field, select
      File List
      .
    2. In the
      Lookup Object
       field, select the text file that contains the file list.
    3. On the
      Return Fields
       tab, verify the return fields for the Lookup transformation.
      Data Integration
       extracts the return fields from the first file in the file list. If the return fields are not correct, you can add or remove fields.
  5. To use a file list that is generated from a command, perform the following steps:
    1. In the
      Source Type
       field, select
      Command
      .
    2. In the
      Lookup Object
       field, select the sample file from which
      Data Integration
       extracts return fields.
      You can use one of the files you use to generate the file list as the sample file or select a different file.
    3. In the
      Command
       field, enter the command that you use to generate the file list, for example,
      /home/dsmith/flatfile/parts/parts.sh
      .
    4. On the
      Return Fields
       tab, verify the return fields for the Lookup transformation.
      If the return fields are not correct, you can add or remove fields, or click the
      Lookup Object
       tab and select a different sample file.
