Approach

Easily split your CSV Using Java Transformation, we can achieve the solution for the above-mentioned challenges.

Java transformation is used to add custom integration logic into mappings using a built-in developer-friendly editor or by plugging in custom JAR files.

Technical Solution –

• Develop Java code that performs CSV split based upon some specific column and specific value of that column using IDE(ex. Eclipse)
• Create an Executable jar file for the above-developed java code.
• Place the above-created jar file at any directory at the local machine (where the security agent is installed).
• Copy the above directory path including the jar name with extension.
• Create the CLASSPATH Environment variable if not available.
• Paste the above-copied directory to the CLASSPATH Environmental variable.

• Restart the secure agent.
• Create the mapping using source and target with java transformation in between them.

• Edit java transformation to make a call to the specific method of the class available in a jar which is responsible for splitting the CSV file into multiple CSV files based upon some specific column and column value.

• Compile the above java code, validate the mapping and run.

Advantage –

The CSV file will get split into multiple CSV files based upon some specific column and specific value of that column.

Issues –

None

Conclusion –

So, the CSV file will be split based on the column provided by the user.
