2. Create a New Transformation
Right-click on a transformation group and select New to create a new workflow.
3. Configure Reader

4. Configure Writer
- Double-click the writer object
- Select your DBF connection

5. Map and Transform Fields
- Map MariaDB fields to DBF columns
- Apply transformations as needed (e.g., trimming text, date formatting, numeric precision)
