VI Output Objects Overview

You use Visual Integrator (VI) output objects to store data flow output. The output object can define the data columns. If no columns are specified, all possible data columns from the data flow are saved.

The following table describes each output object and links to a reference topic that details the attributes for each object type.

Visual Integrator Output Objects

Output Object	Description
Builder	Creates a DI Model. See VI Builder Output Object.
cBase	Creates a DI cBase. See VI cBase Output Object.
Execrows	Runs commands against the rows in the data flow, substituting parameters based on the data flow columns. See VI Execrows Output Object.
Fileout	Saves the output data flow to a file. See VI Fileout Output Object.
Iterate	Calls and iterates other VI tasks or task lists, varying parameters based on input flow columns. See VI Iterate Output Object.
Pipe (UNIX only)	Feeds the output data flow into a UNIX pipe. See VI Pipe Output Object.
Setparm	Sets parameters for later tasks in the VI script. See VI Setparm Output Object.
Split	Divides the data flow into separate output files based on a data column. See VI Split Output Object.
SQL	Writes the output data flow to an existing ODBC database. See VI SQL Output Object.
Tunnel	Writes the output data flow to a file that any DiveLine client can view. See VI Tunnel Output Object.
