Reading .seq Sequence File with tFileInputPositional

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 07:25:56 GMT

I have previously created a job that reads a txt file as input using tFileInputPositional, and it works well. However, my input file is now a sequence file .seq which was created from the collection of several txt files with the same format. Is it possible to stay using the same tFileInputPositional to read the seq file?

As soon as the record format is the same, no problem.

".txt" or ".seq" is just for information, no impact from a Talend point of view.

the .seq file that I have now is a binary file. Is it still possible to read it using tFileInputPositional?

No, you probably need a tFileInputRaw instead

How would I be able to treat it as positional input and get the value then?

Probably not possible as is.
This is as if it was a completly new file with a specific record format.
You need to know how the data are organizd into the file.

well, the txt files are put into one sequence file using forqlift. But I still can't figure out a way to read the seq file
