Transform name

Name of the transform, this name has to be unique in a single pipeline.

Sort directory

The directory in which the temporary files are stored in case when needed; the default is the standard temporary directory for the system

TMP-file prefix

Choose an easily recognized prefix so you can identify the files when they show up in the temp directory.

Sort size

The more rows you store in memory, the faster the sorting process because fewer temporary files must be used and less I/O is generated.

Free memory threshold (in %)

If the sort algorithm finds that it has less available free memory than the indicated number, it will start to page data to disk.

Compress TMP Files

Compresses temporary files when they are needed to complete the sort.

Only pass unique rows?

Enable if you want to pass unique rows only to the output stream(s).

Fields table
