Flat File Enhancements

The Fall 2016 release includes the following flat file enhancements:

File Lists

You can use a file list as a source for flat file connections. Use a file list to enable a task to read multiple source files for one source object in a mapping. A file list is a file that contains the names and directories of each source file you want to use in a mapping.

Flat File Field Metadata

You can edit field metadata such as type, precision, and scale for a parameterized flat file data source in a Mapping Configuration task.

Retrieve Source File Name

You can retrieve the source file name as it is processed in a mapping, making it available downstream.
