Before you start
  • Source file available in File Manager

This is the practical ETL pattern many users need first: start from a reusable file, transform it safely, and write the result somewhere operational.

Example sequence

  1. Store the source file in File Manager.
  2. Open ETL Builder and create a new flow.
  3. Add the correct reader for that file type.
  4. Validate the incoming fields with preview.
  5. Add filtering, field-management, and expression stages one at a time.
  6. Use preview after each important stage.
  7. Attach the writer that matches the intended destination.
  8. Run the flow manually first.
  9. Review Runs and Logs before you schedule it.
