Columns Page

The Columns page of the WebDAV Destination Component allows you to map the columns from upstream components to the Destination Fields.

WebDAV Destination Editor - Columns

  • Input Column: You can select an input column from an upstream component for the corresponding WebDAV Field.
  • Destination Field: Specifies how to write the current item to the WebDAV instance.
  • Data Type: This column indicates the type of value for the current field.
  • Unmap: This column can be used to unmap the field from the upstream input column, or otherwise it can be used to map the field to an upstream input column by matching its name if the field is not currently mapped.

Error Handling Page

The Error Handling page allows you to specify how errors should be handled when they happen.

WebDAV Destination Editor - Error Handling

There are three options available:

  1. Fail on error
  2. Redirect rows to error output
  3. Ignore error

When the Redirect rows to error output option is selected, rows that failed to write to the WebDAV instance will be redirected to the 'Error Output' output of the Destination Component. As indicated in the screenshot below, the blue output connection represents rows that were successfully written, and the red 'Error Output' connection represents erroneous rows. The 'ErrorMessage' output column found in the 'Error Output' may contain the error message that was reported by the server or the component itself.
