# tMDMBulkLoad Standard properties

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

The Standard tMDMBulkLoad component belongs to the Talend MDM 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 number of<br>fields that will be processed and passed on to the next component. The<br>schema is either built-in or remote in the Repository.<br><br>Click Edit<br>schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:<br><br><ul> <li> <p> <span>View schema</span>: choose this                option to view the schema only.</p> </li> <li> <p> <span>Change to built-in property</span>:                choose this option to change the schema to <span>Built-in</span> for local changes.</p> </li> <li> <p> <span>Update repository connection</span>:                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 <span>No</span> upon completion and choose this schema metadata                again in the <span>Repository Content</span>                window.</p> </li> </ul><br><br>Click Sync columns<br>to collect the schema from the previous component. |
| --- | --- |
|  | Built-in: You create the schema<br>and store it locally for this component only. Related topic: see *Talend Studio User Guide*. |
|  | Repository: You have already<br>created the schema and stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it in<br>various projects and Job designs. Related topic: see *Talend Studio User Guide*. |
| XML field | Select the name of the column in which you want to write<br>the XML data. |
| URL | Type in the URL required to access the MDM server. |
| Username and Password | Type in the user authentication data for the MDM<br>server.<br><br>To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the<br>password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes<br>and click OK to save the settings. |
| Data Model | Type in the name of the data model against which the data<br>to be written is validated. |
| Data Container | Type in the name of the data container where you want to<br>write the master data. |
| Entity | Type in the name of the entity that holds the data<br>record(s) you want to write. |
| Type | Select Master or<br>Staging to specify the<br>database on which the action should be performed. |
| Validate | Select this check box to validate the data you want to<br>write onto the MDM server against validation rules defined for the<br>current data model.<br><br>Note that for the PROVISIONING Data Container, validation<br>checks will always be performed on incoming records, regardless of<br>whether or not this check box is selected.<br><br>For more information on how to set the validation rules,<br>see *Talend Studio User Guide*.<br><br>Information noteWarning:<br><br><br>*If you need faster loading performance, do not<br>select this check box.* |
| Generate ID | Select this check box to generate an ID number for all of<br>the data written.<br><br>This check box is not available when the Validate<br>or Fire Create/Update event check box is<br>selected. The auto-generated ID will be used to create the record if<br>this check box is not available and the ID is not provided.<br><br>Information noteWarning:<br><br><br>*If you need faster loading performance, do not<br>select this check box.* |
| Insert only | Select this check box to skip the step of checking<br>whether the data records to be inserted already exist on the MDM server,<br>thus achieving a better performance.<br><br>However, before using this option, you need to make sure<br>that the data records do not exist in the database. |
| Commit size | Type in the row count of each batch to be written onto<br>the MDM server. |
| Use Transaction | Select this check box then, in the Component List, click an existing<br>connection component which will be used to commit the transaction. |
| Fire Create/Update event | Select this check box to add the actions carried out to a modification<br>report. In the Source Name field displayed, enter<br>the name of the application to be used to carry out the modifications<br>between double quotation marks.<br><br>This check box is available only when Master is<br>selected from the Type drop-down list. |

## Advanced settings

| tStatCatcher Statistics | Select this check box to gather the processing metadata<br>at the Job level as well as at each component level. |

## Global Variables

| Global Variables | ERROR\_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an<br>error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions<br>only if the Die on error check box<br>is cleared, if the component has this check<br>box.<br><br>A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component<br>while an After variable functions after the execution of the component.<br><br>To fill up a field or expression with a<br>variable, press Ctrl + Space to<br>access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.<br><br>For further information about variables, see *Talend Studio*<br>*User Guide*. |

## Usage

| **Usage rule** | This component needs always an incoming link to offer XML<br>structured data. If your data offered is not yet in the XML structure,<br>you need use components like tWriteXMLField to transform this data into the XML<br>structure. For further information about tWriteXMLField, see [tWriteXMLField](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/components/7.3/xml/twritexmlfield).<br><br>You can increase the timeout values for a Job using this component<br>to help process a large number of data records. For more information, see advanced<br>execution settings for JVM parameters in the article *Timeout values for a Job using<br>MDM components*<br>on Talend Help Center ([https://help.talend.com](https://help.talend.com/)).<br><br>If you use a Job with the component tMDMBulkLoad to bulk<br>load large volumes of data into MDM, you can tune the bulk load<br>operation by adding a specific JVM argument (for example,<br>bulkload.concurrent.http.requests=25) in the<br>Advanced settings tab of the Job to limit the<br>maximum number of concurrent requests sent to the MDM server. This<br>avoids consuming all available Tomcat application server connections,<br>which will lead to transaction and deadlock issues. |
