Field Conversion¶
You can create a field converter on the Map Field page when creating a table/file migration job.
Figure 1 Creating a field converter¶
Note
Field mapping is not involved when the binary format is used to migrate files to files.
CDM can convert fields during migration. Currently, the following field converters are supported:
Anonymization¶
This converter is used to hide key information about the character string. For example, if you want to convert 12345678910 to 123****8910, configure the parameters as follows:
Set Reserve Start Length to 3.
Set Reserve End Length to 4.
Set Replace Character to *.
Figure 2 Anonymization¶
Trim¶
This converter is used to automatically delete the spaces before and after a string. No parameters need to be configured.
Reverse String¶
This converter is used to automatically reverse a string. For example, reverse ABC into CBA. No parameters need to be configured.
Replace String¶
This converter is used to replace a character string. You need to configure the object to be replaced and the new value.
Remove line break¶
This converter is used to delete the newline characters, such as \n, \r, and \r\n from the field.
Expression Conversion¶
This converter uses the JSP expression language (EL) to convert the current field or a row of data. The JSP EL is used to create arithmetic and logical expressions. Within a JSP EL expression, you can use integers, floating point numbers, strings, the built-in constants true and false for boolean values, and null.
The expression supports the following environment variables:
value: indicates the current field value.
row: indicates the current row, which is an array type.
The expression supports the following tool classes:
StringUtils: string processing tool class. For details, see org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils of the Java SDK code.
DateUtils: date tool class
CommonUtils: common tool class
NumberUtils: string-to-value conversion class
HttpsUtils: network file read class
Application examples:
If the field is of the string type, convert all character strings into lowercase letters, for example, convert aBC to abc.
Expression: StringUtils.lowerCase(value)
Convert all character strings of the current field to uppercase letters.
Expression: StringUtils.upperCase(value)
If the field value is a date string in yyyy-MM-dd format, extract the year from the field value, for example, extract 2017 from 2017-12-01.
Expression: StringUtils.substringBefore(value,"-")
If the field value is of the numeric type, convert the value to a new value which is two times greater than the original value:
Expression: value*2
Convert the field value true to Y and other field values to N.
Expression: value=="true"?"Y":"N"
If the field value is of the string type and is left empty, convert it to Default. Otherwise, the field value will not be converted.
Expression: empty value? "Default":value
Convert date format 2018/01/05 15:15:05 to 2018-01-05 15:15:05:
