Add a checksum

Description

The Add a Checksum transform calculates checksums for one or more fields in the input stream and adds this to the output as a new field.

Options

Option	Description
Transform name	Name of the transform. Note: This name has to be unique in a single pipeline.
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
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 transforms.
