File/Hadoop XML Input Adapter Studio Properties

Adapter type: toolkit_file_xmldoc_input. The File/Hadoop XML Input adapter reads XML-formatted data from a file or a Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Set these properties for the adapter in the ESP Studio adapter properties dialog.

If you use the CCL ATTACH ADAPTER statement to attach an adapter, you must supply the adapter type.

No default value.
