Read Flat File map outputs

You can map the Xml output parameter that contains the XML data (stored as a string) to a variable valid to the specified Flat File Schema.

About this task

See Creating a Map for general instructions on mapping.

Runtime Example

During run time, an orchestration could invoke the following sequence of activities:

Procedure

  1. A FTP Poll Directory activity assigns the contents of a flat file to a String variable called flatFileRawContent.
  2. A Read Flat File activity assigns the contents of the flatFileRawContent variable to the string input parameter called Data.
  3. The Read Flat File activity converts flat file data to XML data and passes the XML data back to the orchestration via the output parameter. The contents of the output parameter are assigned to the variable valid to the Flat File Schema.

What to do next

For an example of using a Read Flat File activity in an orchestration, see "Developing a Simple Project" in the Getting Started Guide.
