Hi Have you downloaded the TOS Components Reference Guide? There's a great write up of both components with working examples in this. Its a really useful document for all the components. Sorry for not writing up an example right here, but there are two great examples in the doc :-). You can get it at: http://www.talend.com/download.php The doc is called: TalendOpenStudio_Components_RG_51a_EN JB
