tNeo4jBatchOutputRelationship Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tNeo4jBatchOutputRelationship running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard tNeo4jBatchOutputRelationship component belongs to the Big Data and the Databases NoSQL families.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend products with Big Data and in Talend Data Fabric.

Basic settings

Use existing connection

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 component supports Neo4j version V3.2.X only and does not support the remote mode. Therefore, do not reuse the connection to versions other than V3.2.X defined in a tNeo4jConnection component and do not select the Remote server check box in tNeo4jConnection.

Do not use a 2.X.X version and a 3.X.X version in the same Job. Otherwise, class conflict issues occur.

Database path

Specify the directory to hold your data files.

This field appears only if you do not select the Use an existing connection check box.

Shutdown after job

Select this check box to shutdown the Neo4j database connection when no more operations on Neo4j are going to be performed after the current component.

Alternatively, you can use tNeo4jClose to shutdown the database.

This avoids errors such as "Id file not properly shutdown" at next execution of Jobs involving Neo4j.

This check box is available only if the Use an existing connection check box is not selected.

Field for relationship types

Select the column from the input schema you have defined in the preceding components to provide types for the relationships to be created.

Direction of the relationship

Select the direction of the relationships to be created:
  • Outgoing: The relationship starts from the start node to the end node.

  • Incoming: The relationship starts from the end node to the start node.

Start node of the relationship

Defining the start node of each relationship using the node identifier:
  • Name of the batch index: select the tNeo4jBatchOutput component used to create the start nodes. The name of the index for these nodes are retrieved from that component.

  • Field name for the batch index: select the column from the input schema you have defined in the preceding components to provide the name of the start node of each relationship to be created.

End node of the relationship

Defining the end node of each relationship using the node identifier:
  • Name of the batch index: select the tNeo4jBatchOutput component used to create the end nodes. The name of the index for these nodes are retrieved from that component.

  • Field name for the batch index: select the column from the input schema you have defined in the preceding components to provide the name of the end node of each relationship to be created.

Die on error

Select the check box to stop the execution of the Job when an error occurs.

Clear the check box to skip any rows on error and complete the process for error-free rows.

Advanced settings

Neo4j configuration

Add parameters to the table to configure the database to be created.

For further information, see Neo4j documentation: Configuration settings.

When entering values, use the syntax demonstrated by the examples given alongside the column names of this Nodes files table.

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

Global Variables

NB_LINE: the number of rows read by an input component or transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an integer.

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 is used as an output component and it always needs an incoming link.
