Write to File

Write to File writes dataflow output to a flat file.

To write records of varying format, see Write to Variable Format File.
To write records to an XML file, see Write to XML.

Tip: You can copy your source and paste it as the sink into your dataflow to quickly set up the file and use the same fields as you defined in your source.

Create a connection to these file servers using Spectrum Management Console or Discovery. For details, see section Defining Connections.
Select the required file path using the File name field in File Properties tab (described below).
