How to get the _LOCALDIR_ variable from tFTPGet

[abundy1637252934]

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
