FixedLength Splitter transform
The FixedLength Splitter transform splits a single messages into multiple records with a fixed record length.
Configuration values that you can update
For the FixedLength Splitter transform, you can update the following field
values in the
Configure Splitter transformwindow:
- Inspect
- Specifies whether, and at what stage, data packets in the data stream are to be inspected. For
example, during transform processing, the data packets can be inspected by printing them to the
Z Common Data Provider Data Streamer job log at
the input stage, the output stage, or both stages. You can choose any of the following values. The default value is None. To prevent the sending of large volumes of data to the Z Common Data Provider Data Streamer job log, use the default value, unless you are instructed by IBM® Software Support to change this value for troubleshooting purposes.
- None
- Specifies that data packets are not inspected.
- Input
- Specifies that data packets are printed to the Data Streamer job log before they are processed by the transform.
- Output
- Specifies that data packets are printed to the Data Streamer job log after they are processed by the transform.
- Both
- Specifies that data packets are printed to the Data Streamer job log both before and after they are processed by the transform.
- Start Offset
- Specifies the starting point of each input messages. This value is required.
- Fixed Length
- Specifies the expected length of the data record. The range is from 1 to 4096. This value is required.
- Skip
- Specifies the number of bytes between the records to skip, which means that these bytes are excluded from the output records. This value is required.
- Ignore Character
- Specifies a character that, if found at the beginning of a data record, causes the record to be
ignored and not included in the outgoing data packet.
This field is optional and is blank by default.
