Folder Shortcuts

You can specify a path to a file as an absolute path or a relative path, or with folder shortcuts.

A folder shortcut is a named path to a file or folder.

name. Name of folder shortcut.
value. Real folder represented by this shortcut.

The format of a folder shortcut reference is as follows

purity://folder_shortcut_name/remaining_path

where:

folder_shortcut_name: Is the folder shortcut name.
remaining_path: Is the rest of the path, including the file name.

Example:

Name of the folder shortcut	MyPath
Value of the folder shortcut	C:/DQC/Workspace_Purity_Eclipse
Example of path using folder shortcut	purity://MyPath/MyProject/config.xml
Real path to the file	C:/DQC/Workspace_Purity_Eclipse/MyProject/config.xml

The definition of this folder shortcut in a run-time configuration file is:

<pathVariables>
        <pathVariable name="MyPath" value="C:/DQC/Workspace_Purity_Eclipse" />
</pathVariables>

This folder shortcut can be used, for example, in the input file name property for the Text File Reader:

<step id='input' className='cz.adastra.cif.tasks.io.text.read.TextFileReader'>
        <properties>
                <fileName>purity://MyPath/data/input.csv</fileName>
                <encoding>windows-1250</encoding>
                ....
        </properties>
</step>
