After you have selected the Source application, the next step in creating a Template is to define the Destination application. A Destination application is an application from where data is to be transferred from the Source application. After defining the Destination application, you must choose an Action.

An Action is performed at the destination. For example, in an FTP Destination application, if you choose Create File as an action, then a file will be generated at the destination.

To select and configure the Destination application of the Template:

  1. Select the Destination application and click Next. 



  2. Select the action and click Next.

    The list of actions differs for the selected Destination application. For the complete list of actions of the supported applications, refer to Appendix D: Supported Applications.

  3. Select the Destination application account. You can either use the existing account or create a new one. Click to add a new account. For information on how to add a new account, refer to Appendix D: Supported Applications.

    Click Test to test the connection to your account.  

  4. Click Next to define the configuration details.

  5. Provide the configuration details of the selected Destination application.  

    The Destination application account and configuration details screen differ depending on the chosen Destination application.
  6. Click Next to select the target data format. This screen appears only if have selected a file-based application at the Destination and Yes (Convert) in the data format. 

  7. Select the target data format and data layout. Target data format is the format in which you want the destination file, for example, text, excel. Target data layout is the layout of the destination file. You can either use the existing layout or create a new one. Click  to create a new layout. For information on how to create a new layout, refer to Appendix A: File Layouts.

     

  8. Click Next to define whether you want to encrypt the destination file. This screen appears only if have selected a file-based application at the Destination.
