IBM PureData System for Analytics, Version 7.1

Row Counts

The system uses a line-oriented input format where one line of text is an input row. It operates by isolating successive rows in the input stream. For each new row, the system increments a row counter (starting at 1) and analyzes the contents of the row.

Two kinds of errors can occur during the analysis:

The input text might not match the expected format.
A field value might fail to meet a requirement imposed by the target table schema.

If a row contains no errors, the system converts the row into a candidate binary record.
