Load External File

Load External File action tasks are used to replace the current job file by the designated text file. Loading an external file does not delete the original file or modify it in any way.

This task is put into effect in the following example process:

Input

The current data file in the process will be discarded.

Processing

The external file specified in the task's properties is loaded and replaces the current data file.

Output

The loaded file is output. Metadata is not modified in any way, neither are Job Info variables.

Task properties

General Tab
  • External file: The path to the file you want the job file to be replaced with. You may browse to the file using the browse button on the right of the field.
On Error Tab
Comments Tab

The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OK button, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.

Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in the Process area.
