Creating File system data sources
The data source input mask opens, in which you can select the File system data source as "Type" as a first step. However,
if you first assign a name to the data source and if this contains the word "file", then "Filesystem" is already preselected as the
data source type. (This works with all data source types)
After this, the data source-specific settings adapt automatically to the File system data source.
Filesystem Specific:
- File
Select here via "..." button, an existing file.
- Separator
Here you can enter with which separator the contents of the file should be separated.
(Also * VariableName * * Separator * * Value of the variable *) This is freely selectable. The standard separator is the semicolon.
After entering the information relevant for the connection, click on "Add".
And after editing an already created data source, click on "Save".
The File system data source is created and subsequently displayed in the data source overview.
Created data sources can be edited or deleted. You do this via the corresponding buttons. You also have the option of viewing all internal data sources.
This works by activating the checkbox "Show internal data sources".
Below you can create variables for the File system data source.
You can find out how to add variables for the File system data source in the “Adding File system variables” chapter:
>> Adding File system variables
You can find out how to perform external logging for the File system data source in the “External logging in the file system” chapter:
>> External logging in the file system
