Document

The Document component includes any non-XML data, for example ASCII text or binary formats, in the process. The aim is to determine the MIME type from the file name extension. The system character encoding is used as character encoding.

If character encoding and MIME type are not determined correctly, use the Document Properties Changer to set them accordingly.


Properties

Document

Path to the linked text or binary file in the repository.

Label

Label of the symbol within the process diagram

Operation

Determines if the file is read or written

Possible values:

  • Read: read file into the process and pass data to the next process step (default)

  • Write: save file with the data from the previous process step

Type

Defines the type of the file

The file type has no effect on the process execution, it contains meta information of the component.

Note:

The Resource type can only be set if the file is located in the Resources folder.

For files in the TemporaryFiles folder, only the Buffer type can be set.

Possible values:

  • Resource: File as a fix component of the final process, which can be read with the Read operation, for example. 
    Possible use cases: The Document component can be used as static configuration file or in a static SQL statement.
  • Buffer (default): This setting is for test purposes and should not be used in a productive environment. A warning message is therefore displayed in the Problems view.
