PDI has two
transformation steps you can use to read mainframe records from a file and transform them
into PDI rows. These
steps are intended for data scientists with mainframe file and copybook experience.
- Copybook input
- This step reads the mainframe files that were originally created using the copybook definition file and outputs to the PDI stream for use in transformations.
- Read metadata from Copybook
- This step reads the metadata of a copybook definition file to use with ETL Metadata Injection in PDI.
