Additional JDBC Parameters

Specify additional JDBC properties for the connection you are creating. The properties are separated by ampersand & and each property is a key-value pair. For example, ssl=true & sslfactory=com.amazon.redshift.ssl.NonValidatingFactory, which means the connection will be created using SSL.

Table Name

Specify the name of the table to be written. Note that only one table can be written at a time.

Action on table

On the table defined, you can perform one of the following operations:

• None: No operation is carried out.

• Drop and create table: The table is removed and created again.

• Create table: The table does not exist and gets created.

• Create table if not exists: The table is created if it does not exist.

• Drop table if exists and create: The table is removed if it already exists and created again.

• Clear table: The table content is deleted. You have the possibility to rollback the operation.

Schema and Edit schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. When you create a Spark Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the fields.

• Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component only.

• Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs.

Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:

• View schema: choose this option to view the schema only.

• Change to built-in property: choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes.

• Update repository connection: choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion. If you just want to propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the Repository Content window.

Data source type

Select the location of the source data to be loaded.

• S3: load data from a file in an Amazon S3 bucket.

• EMR: load data from an Amazon EMR cluster.

• DynamoDB: load data from an existing DynamoDB table.

• Remote host: load data from one or more remote hosts, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances or other computers.

For more information, see Data Sources.

Select this check box and in the Component List drop-down list, select the desired connection component to reuse the connection details you already defined.

This option is available when S3 is selected from the Data source type drop-down list.

Access Key/S3 Access Key

Specify the Access Key ID that uniquely identifies an AWS account. For how to get your Access Key and Access Secret Key, visit Getting Your AWS Access Keys.

This list is available only when Delimited file or CSV is selected from the File type list.

JSON mapping

Specify how to map the data elements in the source file to the columns in the target table on Amazon Redshift. The valid values are:

• auto: Map the data by matching object keys or names in the source name/value pairs for a JSON file or field names in the Avro schema for an Avro file to the names of columns in the target table. The argument is case-sensitive and must be enclosed in double quotation marks.

• s3://jsonpaths_file: Map the data using the named JSONPaths file. The parameter must be an Amazon S3 object key that is enclosed in double quotation marks and explicitly references a single file, for example, s3://mybucket/jsonpaths.txt. For more information, see Data Format Parameters.

This field is available only when JSON or AVRO is selected from the File type list.

Fixed width mapping

Enter a string that specifies a user-defined column label and column width between double quotation marks. The format of the string is:

ColumnLabel1:ColumnWidth1,ColumnLabel2:ColumnWidth2,....

Note that the column label in the string has no relation to the table column name and it can be either a text string or an integer. The order of the label/width pairs must match the order of the table columns exactly.

This field is available only when Fixed width is selected from the File type list.

Compressed by

Select this check box and from the list displayed select the compression type of the source file.

This check box is available when S3, EMR, or Remote host is selected from the Data source type drop-down list.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at the Job level as well as at each component level.

Global Variables

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl + Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.

For further information about variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.

Usage rule

The tRedshiftBulkExec component supports loading data to Amazon Redshift from a delimited/CSV, JSON, or fixed-width file on Amazon S3, but the tRedshiftOutputBulk component now only supports generating and uploading a delimited/CSV file to Amazon S3. When you need to load data from a JSON or fixed-width file, you can use the tFileOutputJSON or tFileOutputPositional component together with the tS3Put component instead of using the tRedshiftOutputBulk component to generate and upload the file to Amazon S3.

Dynamic settings

Click the [+] button to add a row in the table and fill the Code field with a context variable to choose your database connection dynamically from multiple connections planned in your Job. This feature is useful when you need to access database tables having the same data structure but in different databases, especially when you are working in an environment where you cannot change your Job settings, for example, when your Job has to be deployed and executed independent of Talend Studio.

The Dynamic settings table is available only when the Use an existing connection check box is selected in the Basic settings view. Once a dynamic parameter is defined, the Component List box in the Basic settings view becomes unusable.

For examples on using dynamic parameters, see Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and Reading data from different MySQL databases using dynamically loaded connection parameters. For more information on Dynamic settings and context variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.
