Not sure about a concept in Knime named URI. I need to move some files around to support a workflow. Using the list files nodes and then copy/move file nodes I get an error. The dialog cannot be opened for the following reason: No column in spec compatible to ‘URIDataValue’. Not sure what URI is? Looking at community it mentions going to documentation but that talks about URL formats. Can someone guide me?
Hi @Jeff,
URI is a “Uniform Resource Identifier” and points to a resource, e.g. a file or a website. The List Files node outputs an URL, which is a “Uniform Resource Locator”, which is a special type of URI. This URL is stored in a string column, so you will need to convert that to an URI first using a String to URI node. After that, the Copy/Move Files node should allow you to open the dialog just fine.
Kind regards
Alexander
