IDtXmlConsumer.File

Syntax

File: String;

Description

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

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an ETL task with the Etl identifier.

Sub Main;

Var

MB: IMetabase;

MObj: IMetabaseObject;

EtlTask: IEtlTask;

EtlConsumer: IEtlPlainDataConsumer;

XMLConsumer: IDtXmlConsumer;

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 consumer creation

//Create the Export To XML object

EtlConsumer := EtlTask.Create(EtlObjectType.PlainDataXmlConsumer) As IEtlPlainDataConsumer;

EtlConsumer := EtlConsumer.Edit;

EtlConsumer.Id := "XML_Consumer";

EtlConsumer.Name := "Export to XML";

EtlConsumer.Description := "Export to XML";

//Set up data consumer setting

XMLConsumer := EtlConsumer.Consumer As IDtXmlConsumer;

XMLConsumer.DataNodeName := "Row";

XMLConsumer.File := "c:\Data_out.Xml";

XMLConsumer.FormatType := DtXmlFormatType.FieldsAsNodes;

XMLConsumer.RootNodeName := "Data";

//Save consumer

EtlConsumer.Save;

//End of consumer creation

//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(50, 50);

WxConsumer.Extension := WxETLConsumer As IWxShapeExtension;

//End of visual object creation

//Save Etl task

MObj.Save;

End Sub Main;

After executing the example the Export to XML object is created in the ETL task. The consumer exports data into the XML file Data_out.xml. If the file does not exist it is created.

During export the file turns into:

<Data>

<Row>

<I_FIELD>10</I_FIELD>

<D_FIELD>10.4</D_FIELD>

<S_FIELD>A</S_FIELD>

<DATE_FIELD>01.01.2006</DATE_FIELD>

<B_FIELD>0</B_FIELD>

</Row>

<Row>

<I_FIELD>20</I_FIELD>

<D_FIELD>24.4</D_FIELD>

<S_FIELD>B</S_FIELD>

<DATE_FIELD>01.02.2006</DATE_FIELD>

<B_FIELD>1</B_FIELD>

</Row>

....

</Data>
