Create a Output to a File System in Hero_Flow

  2. Click Outputs from the menu on the left.

  3. Click CREATE NEW OUTPUT.

  4. Give the Output a name and select a file system Connection.

CSV Output

  • Enter the file path where the outgoing data is stored.

    • Variable syntax:

      ${TUPLE.<field name>}

    • The new data written from the Output overwrites the current file with the same file name. Create a new file with an added time stamp suffix with the syntax:

      ${TIMESTAMP}

  • Select the CSV output format to write image data. 
  • Enter the delimiter that separates values in the file.
  • Check the radio button to indicate if headers are present. 
  • Select the character set for the CSV 
  • If the Input being used in the Flow that is connected to this Output contains multiple files,
    Check the radio button to indicate:
    • Yes, all results are written to a single CSV file.

    • No, results are written to multiple incremental CSV files based on the number of files in the Source.

      This feature is supported for Connections to Dropbox and S3.
