Hi,

Is there a way I can add a static header information for the feed after reformatting. Currently I am using java to reformat a DATA from DATABASE.

Basically I read the database and then create a file. I want to add header information to the file so my import engine can recognize the first line as header.

Thanks,  
Naveen

Hello Naveen,

I’m not sure if I understand your question well. But if you want to add headers while writing a file. Then turn on the “Write field names” option in your write component. It will use the names of fields in the metadata to generate header.
