tContextLoad Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tContextLoad running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard tContextLoad component belongs to the Misc family.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend products.

Basic settings

Schema and Edit schema

A schema is a row description, it defines the fields that will be processed and passed on to the next component.

In tContextLoad, the schema must be made of two columns, including the parameter name and the parameter value to be loaded.

If a variable loaded, but not in the context

If a variable is loaded but does not appear in the context, select how the notification must be displayed. In the shape of an Error, a warning or an information (info).

If a variable in the context, but not loaded

If a variable appears in the context but is not loaded, select how the notification must be displayed. In the shape of an Error, a warning or an information (info).

Global Variables

Global Variables

NB_LINE: the number of rows processed. This is an After variable and it returns an integer.

KEY_NOT_INCONTEXT: the variables are loaded but do not appear in the context. This is an After variable and it returns a string.

KEY_NOT_LOADED: the variables not loaded but appear in the context. This is an After variable and it returns a string.

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

Usage rule

This component relies on the data flow to load the context values to be used, therefore it requires a preceding input component and thus cannot be a start component.

Dynamic settings

Click the [+] button to add a row in the table and fill the Code field with a context variable to turn on or off the Print operations option dynamically at runtime.

When a dynamic parameter is defined, the corresponding Print operations option 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.

Limitation

tContextLoad does not create any non-defined variable in the default context.
