How to get the _LOCALDIR_ variable from tFTPGet

abundy1637252934 — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 21:34:03 GMT

Hi,

I'm using Talend Studio.

In the tFTPGet component properties, when you pass the mouse over the "local directory" field, you can see the message "the variable associated with this parameter is: _LOCALDIR_"

I would like to retrieve the contents of this variable to use elsewhere in the job and perhaps in a subjob.

Unfortunately, this variable is not described in the online help for the tFTPGet component which only has global variables.

Could someone help me and explain me how I can retrieve the value of this variable?

If not, is it possible to set the "local directory" field with a global variable that I could then use as I want?

THANKS.

Hello,

As a context variable name for the local folder on tftpget, the job is running from studio when you use "local_dir". (LOCALDIR = "/tmp")

You could define a context variable for your Job in context view

LOCALDIR = context.temp_dir

Feel free to let us know if it doesn't work.
