Base64 Field Decoder

The Base64 Field Decoder decodes Base64 encoded data to binary data. Use the processor to decode Base64 encoded data before evaluating data in fields.

When you configure Base64 Field Decoder, you specify the byte array fields to decode and the target byte array fields to pass the decoded values to.

Configuring a Base64 Field Decoder Processor

Configure a Base64 Field Decoder to decode Base64 encoded data to binary data.

  1. In the Properties panel, on the General tab, configure the following properties:
    General Property Description
    Name Stage name.
    Description Optional description.
    Required Fields Fields that must include data for the record to be passed into the stage.
    Tip: You might include fields that the stage uses.

    Records that do not include all required fields are processed based on the error handling configured for the pipeline.
    Preconditions Conditions that must evaluate to TRUE to allow a record to enter the stage for processing. Click Add to create additional preconditions.

    Records that do not meet all preconditions are processed based on the error handling configured for the stage.
    On Record Error Error record handling for the stage:
    • Discard - Discards the record.
    • Send to Error - Sends the record to the pipeline for error handling.
    • Stop Pipeline - Stops the pipeline. Not valid for cluster pipelines.
  2. On the Base64 tab, configure the following properties:
    Base64 Field Decoder Property Description
    Fields to Decode

    One or more byte array fields to decode. Select the fields that you want to decode and the corresponding target fields.

    For the target field, you can specify the same field as the original field to replace the original data with the decoded data. Or you can specify another existing field or a new field. If the field does not exist, Base64 Field Decoder creates the field.

    Using simple or bulk edit mode, click Add Another to add a field.
