IDtDbaseConsumer.File

Syntax

File: String;

Description

The File property determines the path and the name of the file DBF of the table, in which data is exported.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an ETL task with the ETL identifier and the Base_1.Dbf database file in the root of the C disk.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    MObj: IMetabaseObject;
    EtlTask: IEtlTask;
    EtlConsumer: IEtlPlainDataConsumer;
    DbaseConsumer: IDtDbaseConsumer;
    WxConsumer: IWxRectangle;
    WxETLConsumer: IWxETLObject;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // ETL task search. Repository object with the ETL identifier
    MObj := MB.ItemById("ETL").Edit;
    EtlTask := MObj As IEtlTask;
    // Start of creating a data consumer
    // Create the "Export to Dbase" object
    EtlConsumer := EtlTask.Create(EtlObjectType.PlainDataDbaseConsumer) As IEtlPlainDataConsumer;
    EtlConsumer := EtlConsumer.Edit;
    EtlConsumer.Id := "Dbase_Consumer";
    EtlConsumer.Name := "Export to Dbase";
    EtlConsumer.Description := "Export to Dbase";
    // Set up data consumer
    DbaseConsumer := EtlConsumer.Consumer As IDtDbaseConsumer;
    DbaseConsumer.File := "c:\Base_1.Dbf";
    DbaseConsumer.DriverVersion := "dBASE IV";
    EtlConsumer.FillDefault;
    // Save data consumer
    EtlConsumer.Save;
    // End of creating a data consumer
    // Start of visual object creation
    WxConsumer := EtlTask.Workspace.CreateRectangle;
    WxETLConsumer := New WxETLObject.Create;
    WxETLConsumer.ETLObject := EtlConsumer;
    WxConsumer.Style.TextPosition := WxTextPosition.Bottom;
    WxConsumer.Style.PictureMarginTop := -10;
    WxConsumer.PinPosition := New GxPointF.Create(5050);
    WxConsumer.Extension := WxETLConsumer As IWxShapeExtension;
    // End of visual object creation
    // Save ETL task
    MObj.Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the Export to Dbase object is created in the ETL task. This data consumer exports data to a database file. During connection the dBASE IV drivers are used.
