| Do not generate an empty file | If the selected data source does not contain any rows, then an empty file will be generated. To prevent this behavior, select this option. |

Running a load
To run the load, select Run from the toolbar, indicated in the screenshot below. The load executes using the variable values currently saved in the component.
To run the load with different values without changing what's saved in the component, select Run with options from the dropdown next to Run. This opens a dialog listing the component's variables. Update any variable value as needed, then use the reset icon next to a field, or select Reset all, to restore its saved value. Select Run in the dialog to execute the load using those values; they apply only to that run. If the load has no variables, the dialog states that no variables are used; select Close and run the component normally instead.
To run the load with different values without changing what's saved in the component, select the arrow next to Run and choose Run with options. This opens a dialog listing the component's variables, where you can change values for this run only; the saved values are not affected.
