Defining Custom Data Delimiters and Enclosing Characters
The default configurations are delivered with the base product.
Your entire legacy data or a specific table, or the data extract mechanism may require use of a different data delimiter and/or enclosing characters. To enable alternative delimiters, perform the following steps:
-
Define new data delimiter string, enclosing string, CLOB delimiter string and/or CLOB Line Separator using the corresponding Extendable Lookups
-
Configure Conversion Task Type using newly created delimiters
-
Amend Conversion Master Configuration, setting default (for all tables or maintenance objects) or override (for specific table or maintenance Object) instructions.
-
Regenerate Conversion Artifacts
Now you can create data extract according to the newly generated specifications.
