Does clover parse records that have a fixed field portion followed by a delimited field portion ? For example, the first 7 fields occupy the first 20 bytes of the record while the remaining fields after byte 20 are comma delimited ?
Yes, the clover.engine supports this type of data. Generally clover recognizes three types of metadata for records - delimited, fixlen and mixed. Universal data reader and Universal data writer can process data with all three metadata type. Unfortunately clover.gui doesn’t support the mixed metadata editation. You have to create the mixed metadata by hand.
See wiki for more information http://wiki.cloveretl.org/doku.php?id=g … s:metadata
Clover.gui is going to support the mixed metadata from the release 1.8.
