Read From File

The Read from File stage specifies an input file for a job or subflow. It is not available for services.

Note: If you want to use an XML file as input for your dataflow, use the Read from XML stage instead of Read from File. If you want to use a variable format file as input, use Read from Variable Format File.
Prerequisite: To read a file from any of the file system connection types, such as FTP, Cloud, Amazon AWS S3, and HDFS, perform these steps:
  1. Create a connection to these file servers using Spectrum Management Console or Discovery. For details, see section Defining Connections.
  2. Select the file using the File name field in File Properties tab (described below).
