Appendix B shows the modified SourceDescriptor that is required for each of the four examples in this document to be run against a fixed width text file instead of the delimited text files that were used in the main body.

For OYSTER to use different types of sources as input only the SourceDescriptor file needs to be modified. This is due to the fact that the connection string for the data source is defined inside of the SourceDescriptor along with the fields used for attributes that are stored in the defined source.
