Stage ports

Input

The Write to Model stage requires that your dataflow contain at least one source stage with defined fields that you can use to create a model.

Spectrum supports both simple and complex data types. You can use fields deep within the hierarchical structure of your input file as an entity. If you are using hierarchical data, you will also see a Filter control that allows you to filter out data on the Property list based on the path of the field. Likewise, you will see a control that allows you to hide non-primitive fields.

Output

The Write to Model stage has one optional outgoing port that collects any records that the dataflow did not process correctly. This is called the Error Port, and records that pass through this port into the sink are considered malformed.
