    you can try to add a property transfer and dataSink steps. The idea is that you will transter data between you dataSource and DataSinc, and save them to a specific file.

     

    Alternatively, if you are comfortable with scripting, you can do a select from groovy (instead of using dataSource step), and save results to the file in the same script using a code example I gave you before.

Hello easyfish,

 

Could you give us some more info on what you want to do, e.g. what kind of data source you have and what file format you need.

Thanks for your reply!

 

I have a oracle jdbc data source.  Now we can import data source properties from a csv file.  The csv is like

prop1A, prop1B,prop1D, prop1D

prop2A, prop2B,prop2D, prop2D

 

we can choose the row that we want to import. It is very convenient.

 

What I want to have an inverted function.  We can export the current properties in datasource  to a csv file, which has the same format above.
