Defining convert actions

You can define actions to perform with an associated utility, such as the pr0hdfs Big Data loader, as part of the convert process.

  1. Open a Convert Request for a target file format, such as Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), that includes convert actions.
  2. Click the Actions tab.
  3. Click Use actions.
  4. In the Action list, select a convert process action to use with a utility.
  5. In the Executable location field, enter the location of the utility executable file. Use a fully qualified path only.
  6. In the Command line field, enter command line options for the utility.
  7. To include Optim™ variables in the command line statement, click a variable in the Optim variables list.
  8. Define processing options to Optim such as utility keywords and values. The options will be appended to the command line statement.

    To define processing options, complete the following steps in the Processing Options area:

    1. In the Keyword column, enter the keyword used by the utility.
    2. In the Value column, enter the value for the keyword.

      For a log file, enter the log file location. Use a fully qualified path only, not a relative path.

      For an Optim variable, click a variable in the Optim variables list.

    3. In the Classification column, select a classification for the keyword.

      For a log file, select Log\Report.

      For an Optim variable, select Optim variable.

    4. Click OK.
  9. Select one of the On Error Options to determine whether the convert service stops or continues processing if an error occurs.
  10. To review the command line statement, right-click the Command line field (or either theExecutable location or Processing Options) fields, and click Preview.
  11. Save the Convert Request.
