tPaloOutput Standard properties

Use an 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.

Note that when a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, Component List presents only the connection components in the same Job level.

Host Name

Enter the host name or the IP address of the host server.

Server Port

Type in the listening port number of the Palo server.

Username and Password

Enter the Palo user authentication data.

To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes and click OK to save the settings.

Database

Type in the name of the database where the cube of interest resides.

Cube

Type in the name of the cube in which the incoming data is written.

Commit size

Type in the row count of each batch to be written into the cube.

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.

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.

Built-in: The schema is created and stored locally for this component only. Related topic: see Talend Studio User Guide.

Repository: The schema already exists and is stored in the Repository, hence can be reused. Related topic: see Talend Studio User Guide.

Column as Measure

Select the column from the input stream which holds the Measure or Text values.

Create element if not exist

Select this check box to create the element being processed if it does not exist originally.

Save cube at process end

Select this check box to save the cube you have written the data in at the end of this process.

tStat Catcher Statistics

Select this check box to collect log data at the component level.

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.
