Add a checksum

Step name

Name of the step. Note: This name has to be unique in a single transformation.

Type

The type of checksum that needs to be calculated.  These are the types that are available:

• CRC32 : 32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check
• ADLER 32 : Checksum algorithm by Mark Adler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adler-32
• MD5 : Message Digest algorithm 5 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5
• SHA-1 : Secure Hash Algorithm 1 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1
• SHA-256 : Secure Hash Algorithm 2 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-256

Result Type

Some checksum types allow to set different result types: String, Hexadecimal and Binary

Result field

The name of the result field containing the checksum

Compatibility Mode

Check this to be compatible with transformations that were created with a PDI version before 4.2.0. Before 4.2.0 there have been issues with a wrong hexadecimal encoding when Result Type is set to Hexadecimal (see details in PDI-5190).

Fields used in the checksum

The names of the fields to include in the checksum calculation.
Note: You can use the "Get Fields" button to insert all input fields from previous steps.
