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.
