Split File

The Split File step divides one file in the Intely File System into several smaller files.
Use it when a delivered file is too large to process in one pass, or when downstream processing
expects batches rather than a single extract.

Configuration

FieldNotes
Source File PathThe file to split, in the Intely File System.
Source File TypeRecord Based for delimited text, Binary for anything else.
DelimiterThe field delimiter, for record-based files.
Header RowWhether the source has a header row. When set, the header is carried onto each output file so every part stays parseable on its own.
Record Count Per FileFor record-based splitting — how many records each output file holds.
Byte Size Per FileFor binary splitting — the maximum size of each output file.
Destination Folder PathWhere the resulting files are written.

Record-based and binary splitting are alternatives: choose the record count for the former and
the byte size for the latter.

Output

The step writes its output files to the destination folder. A following Loop step
over that folder is the usual way to process each part in turn.
