Network File Access File Read Transfer Object

Network File Access File Read Transfer Objects can move files and make file contents available. File paths can be selected from a database or as constants. You can project the transfer object directly within the connection as described.

After double-clicking on the transfer object, set the following properties:

PropertyDescription
ConnectionPlug-in instance to be used
File path

Dynamic:
The file path can be passed dynamically as a parameter at runtime. This is helpful if different files are to be read.

Static:

A static file path must be configured in the transfer object. This setting should be used if only one file is to be read.

Read binary data or text

Read binary data can be used to read binary files (e.g., *.doc, *.jpg, *.xlsx). Read
text can be used for simple text files (e.g., *txt).

EncodingIf Read text is selected, the encoding can be selected. The default is UTF8.
Abort if the file is not found.

If this option is enabled, the transfer will be aborted if the file is not found, without generating an error.
If the option is not enabled, an error will be generated.
