A Flat File connection points to how many folders or directories?

A Flat File connection in Informatica typically points to a single folder or directory. This is because when setting up a Flat File connection, you generally specify the exact location where the flat file resides, and the integration processes expect to read from or write to that specific location. The configuration requires a precise path to maintain data consistency and ensure that the files are correctly processed during the data integration tasks.

While other options suggest broader scopes, such as multiple folders or directories or any folder within the drive, the design of the Flat File connection mandates a singular focus to facilitate effective data management and retrieval. This approach simplifies the process by preventing ambiguity about where the data files are located, thereby enhancing data integration performance and reliability.
