How to overwrite tFileOutputDelimited file if exists

[Anonymous]

is there any option to overwrite existing file when using tFileOutputDelimited. I only see Append.

thank you!

Untick both options Append and Error if file exists (or something like that)

I want the new file to overwrite if the such file already exists. I don't want the job to error out.

I see what you are saying. I unticked both options and it worked. thanks so much.

Hi,

I don't see that option in the tFileOutputDelimited! Could you please tell me where that untick option?

Thank you. I have a requirement like this.. I need to capture the rejected rows by applying multiple rules/conditions, here I want to append the rejected columns with 2-4- tmap reject criteria, so I will not be knowing which tmap has generated rejected rows, so I need  to enable the append in all the reject criteria by writing to the same file. This is working fine but when running for the second time again same data gets appended instead of writing fresh into the file, for now what I have done is added a tFileDelete at the beginning, so it is creating a fresh file though append is enabled  in all the tFileoutputDelimited component.

May be some other way may also be there, if so please advice.
