Create a data object

After you create a connection for a data source, you need to create a data object variable that you can use in INFACore operations.

To create the data object, call the get_data_object method in the Python SDK and provide the details of the data object instance.

See the following example code to create a flat file data object variable:

ff_do = ic.get_data_source("FlatFile").get_connection("CN_FlatFile").get_data_object("salesinput.csv")

In the code:

•ff_do is the data object variable name for the flat file.
•get_data_source("Flat File") is the method to get the flat file data source.
•get_connection("CN_FlatFile") is the method to get the flat file connection.
•get_data_object("salesinput.csv") is the method to create the data object instance.

You can use the configured data object variable when you apply prebuilt functions or other operations on the data object instance.
