Loading in sample data

To give us some data to play with, lets add some data to the project. Your Transformations can, of course, take their data from pretty well anywhere including

 

Project "Data In" folder
File on a file system
File at URL
Database
Web Service

 

To get going quickly, let's download some sample data from the CloverETL web site. You will need to grab each on of the following files

 

 

customers.csv
orders.csv
orderdetails.csv

 

 

Spanner

1.Download the files from the above location.
2.You should save them to the "data-in" folder on your disk. The quickest way to find this out is to right click on the project name "Customers" and then select "Properties". You will be shown the path of the project and the "data-in" folder is within it.
3.Right click on the "data-in" folder and press "Refresh" to check that these files are now properly available.
