Other parameters
Add Suffix When Creating Files in Transformation
: you can select one of the predefined suffixes for the files created using this Connection. For example, if you selectuuid
as a suffix and the original file name isdest.csv
, Etlworks Integrator will create files with the namedest_uuid.csv
, where uuid is a globally unique identifier such as21EC2020-3AEA-4069-A2DD-08002B30309D
.
This parameter works only when the file is created using source-to-destination-transformation. Read how to add a suffix to the files created when copying, moving, renaming, and zipping files.
Enable Wildcard File Name
: if there are multiple source files in a folder, you can specify an algorithm that will be used to select the next source file to process. For example, ifFiles
is set to*.csv
andoldest
is selected, Etlworks Integrator will always select the oldest file in the folder which matches the wildcard*.csv
.Override Wildcard File Name set for Connection
: ifWildcard File Names
are allowed,Override Wildcard File Name set for Connection
is enabled, and the file name entered in theFROM
field of the transformation is a wildcard file name, the system will override the file name entered at the Connection level. Otherwise, the default behavior is to use the wildcard file name entered when the Connection was configured.
Decryption
When SharePoint Connection is used as a source (FROM
) in the source-to-destination transformation, it is possible to configure the automatic decryption of the encrypted source files using the PGP algorithm and private key uploaded to the secure key storage.
If the private key is available, all source files processed by the transformation will be automatically decrypted using the PGP algorithm and given key. Note that the private key requires a password.
