Set the Output Destination for a File Workflow

Choose where a workflow reading CSV or XSD files from storage writes its results.

Overview

A workflow that reads CSV or XSD files from an S3-compatible storage data source now asks you to pick an output data source, the same way a database workflow does. Results no longer go back to the input location by default, and a workflow without a destination cannot be saved.

This applies to workflows connected to storage, where you select an S3-compatible data source with an endpoint, bucket, and credentials. A workflow built from a directly uploaded file still shows a download notice instead of an output picker.

Prerequisites

  • A CSV or XSD workflow whose input is an S3-compatible storage data source (not a direct file upload).

  • An output data source with Read & Write access already configured in the project, or permission to create one.

Steps

  1. Start creating a new workflow for a CSV or XSD source connected to storage.

  2. Go to the Connect step.

  3. Select the input data source.

  4. Select an output data source for the results.

  5. Continue through the wizard and create the workflow.

To change the destination later:

  1. Open the workflow.

  2. Open workflow settings.

  3. Select a different output data source.

  4. Save the configuration.

Confirm success

The workflow saves only when an output data source is set - if you leave the destination empty, saving is blocked until you pick one. After a run, results appear at the output data source you selected, not automatically at the input location.
