How to extract data from a 'file' datasource with spaces in column headers in ODI [message #618104]

Hello All,

I am trying to do a File to Table Mapping. The source file has column headers with spaces, for instance, column name is like HOME NATURAL ACCOUNT.So while running the Interface, it's throwing error like :

ODI-1227: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the source FILE connection Linux_Server_File_Path.
Caused By: java.sql.SQLException: ODI-40481: Invalid COL ALIAS ""NATURAL ACCOUNT C4_HOME_NATURAL_ACCOUNT"" for column "HOME"

The source file shouldn't be altered. So is there any other way out to read the file, without altering the existing file columns.

Thanks.

I was going to suggest you to rename columns in the file (or, at least, try to enclose them into double quotes). As you can't modify the file, I don't have any other ideas.

Thanks for your response. The only alternative I could find is to Import the data in to Excel and then convert in to csv and then use that csv file as a datastore in ODI.
I was hoping in some way I could use the same text file.

Thanks,
Richa
