Socket (As Client) CSV Input Adapter

Adapter type: dsv_sockout_in. The Socket (as Client) CSV Input adapter receives data in delimited format from outgoing network adapters.

The adapter initiates the connection to an external datasource, and an external program sends out the data. The data does not require a header (accepted by esp_convert). If the file includes a header, the header specifies the field names.

If you use the CCL ATTACH ADAPTER statement to attach an adapter, you must supply the adapter type. The type for this adapter is dsv_sockout_in.

Sample record formats for the data file:
1. hasHeader=true
delimiter=,
expectStreamNameOpcode=false

Property Label Property ID Type Description
Server host string (Required) Server host name. Default value is localhost.
Port port int (Required) Server port. If port is set to -1, the adapter reads from the Ephemeral Port File. Default value is 12345.
Stream name, opcode expected expectStreamNameOpcode boolean (Optional) If true, the adapter interprets the first two fields as a stream name and opcode respectively. Adapters discard messages with unmatched stream names. Default value is false.
Field Count fieldCount uint (Optional) Counts the number of fields in a CSV file, if different from the source stream. Default value is 0.
Delimiter delimiter string (Advanced) Symbol used to separate the columns. Default value is a comma ( , ).
Has Header hasHeader boolean (Advanced) Determines whether the first line of the file contains the description of the fields. Default value is false.
Ephemeral Port File epFile filename (Advanced) File that contains the server port number, if Port is -1. No default value.
Retry Period retryperiod uint (Advanced) Period for trying to re-establish an outgoing connection. In seconds. Default value is 1.
Enter Initial State initial choice (Advanced) When the adapter enters the initial loading state. Default value is never.
Convert to Safe Opcodes safeOps boolean (Advanced) Converts the opcodes INSERT and UPDATE to UPSERT. Converts DELETE to SAFEDELETE. Default value is false.
Skip Deletes skipDels boolean (Advanced) Skips the rows with opcodes DELETE or SAFEDELETE. Default value is false.
Timestamp Format timestampFormat string (Advanced) Format string for parsing timestamp values. Default value is %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.
Date Format dateFormat string (Advanced) Format string for parsing date values. Default value is %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.
Block Size blockSize int (Advanced) Determines number of records to block into one pseudo-transaction. Default value is 1.
Field Mapping permutation permutation (Advanced) Mapping between the in-platform and external fields. No default value.

PropertySet

propertyset string

(Advanced) Specifies the name of the property set (a group of properties and values) you want to use from the project configuration file. If you specify the same properties in the project configuration file and the ATTACH ADAPTER statement, the values in the property set override the values defined in the ATTACH ADAPTER statement. No default value.
