The Talend tFixedFlowInput component generates a fixed number of rows from the internal variables. In this section, we show you how to use this Talend tFixedFlowInput to create a table of fixed values.
Talend tFixedFlowInput Example
Drag and drop the tFixedFlowInput component into the job design.
The following screenshot shows the tFixedFlowInput properties in the components tab.
- The number of rows: Please enter the total number of rows to generate.
- Mode: It has three options, and we show you an example of each Talend option.
Please click on the Edit Schema button and add the required columns to use in this tFixedFlowInput field. Here, we created three columns SNO, Name, and Age.
Use Single Table
Once you click the Edit Schema OK button, those columns have added to the Column section. Under the values, you have to add the values for each column.
For the Talend tFixedFlowInput demo purpose, we added the values. Next, we used the tLogRow to show the result.
Let me run this tFixedFlowInput job.
Use Inline Table
This option creates an inline table. Please use this option to add multiple rows. So, let me add four records to the columns that we created earlier.
You can see the Talend tFixedFlowInput result!
Use Inline Content (delimited file)
Please use this option to use multiple records in a file. You can simply copy all the records into the content section and specify the Row and field separator.
Here, we changed the Schema and added five columns to store the employee information. Next, we added ten records whose row is separated by a new line and field separated by the comma.
Once you run the Talend tFixedFlowInput job, you can see the result.
