String: Data is returned as a new, wide, string-type field.The downloaded contents will be in a single field called "DownloadData." You might have to parse this data using downstream tools like the Text To Columns tool, RegEx tool, or Formula tool. To a Field: Downloaded content is returned in the data stream as a data field.The data can be returned in a data field or output to a file. Output: Specify how the returned data is formatted.An example of this would be the substitution of %20 for a space. Encode URL Text: When checked, the URL is encoded so unsafe ASCII characters are converted into a format that can be transmitted over the internet.The base of the URL is fetched from the DCM Data Source definition while the latter part (that is appended to the base URL) is fetched from the incoming data stream. When using the Download tool with DCM, the URL that data will be pulled from is split into 2 parts. This could simply be a Text Input tool where the URL is specified as a field value. URL Field: Specify the field from the incoming data stream that contains the URL (Uniform Resource Locator - Internet resource) to pull data from (or upload data to).Once you run the workflow, these aliases are automatically replaced by corresponding DCM values. The aliases can be used for both Name and Value while only Compose Query String/Body option is supported for Payload. If the DCM Connection Method requires Username and Password, these credentials are used for basic authentication.īy selecting the Resolve on Payload checkbox, you can use DCM-specific aliases for Headers and Payload settings. For more information, see DCM - Designer | Alteryx Help. Select the Use Data Connection Manager (DCM) checkbox to set up the connection using DCM. Use the Basic tab to set the mandatory controls for the Download tool.
