Encoding of records that are read in.

The default encoding depends on DEFAULT_CHARSET_DECODER in defaultProperties.

Determines what should be done when an error occurs. For more information, see Data Policy.

Specifies whether leading and trailing whitespace should be removed from strings before setting them to data fields, see Trimming Data. If true, the use of the robust parser is forced.

Fields containing a special character (comma, newline, or double quote) have to be enclosed in quotes. Only single/double quote is accepted as the quote character. If true, special characters are removed when read by the component (they are not treated as delimiters).

Example: To read input data "25"|"John", switch Quoted strings to true and set Quote character to ". This will produce two fields: 25|John.

By default, the value of this attribute is inherited from metadata on output port 0. See also Record Details.

Specifies which kind of quotes will be permitted in Quoted strings. By default, the value of this attribute is inherited from metadata on output port 0. See also Record Details.

Specifies whether to skip a leading whitespace (blanks e.g.) before setting input strings to data fields. If not explicitly set (i.e. having the default value), the value of the Trim strings attribute is used. See Trimming Data. If true, the use of the robust parser is enforced.

Specifies whether to skip a trailing whitespace (blanks e.g.) before setting input strings to data fields. If not explicitly set (i.e. having the default value), the value of the Trim strings attribute is used. See Trimming Data. If true, the use of the robust parser is enforced.

Skips the first n records/rows from each source file. See Selecting Input Records.

The maximum number of tolerated error records in input file(s); applicable only if Controlled Data Policy is set.

If a field is delimited by a multiplied delimiter char, it will be interpreted as a single delimiter when setting to true.

By default, a less comprehensive error notification is provided and the performance is slightly higher. However, if switched to true, more detailed information with less performance is provided.

The number of threads used to read input data files. The order of records is not preserved if it is 2 or higher. If the file is too small, this value will be switched to 1 automatically.

In case the component is running in a Cluster environment and a shared file is read, each component's instance process the appropriate part of the file. The whole file is divided into segments by CloverDX Server and each Cluster worker processes only one proper part of the file. By default, this option is turned off. This attribute is ignored for partitioned files.

By default, the most appropriate parser is applied. Besides, the parser for processing data may be set explicitly. If an improper one is set, an exception is thrown and the graph fails. See Data Parsers
