tSybaseIQBulkExec Standard properties

Select a type of database from the list and click Apply.

Property Type

Select the way the connection details will be set.

• Built-In: The connection details will be set locally for this component. You need to specify the values for all related connection properties manually.

• Repository: The connection details stored centrally in Repository > Metadata will be reused by this component. You need to click the [...] button next to it and in the pop-up Repository Content dialog box, select the connection details to be reused, and all related connection properties will be automatically filled in.

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.

When reusing an existing Sybase 16 (SQL Anywhere) connection created by a tSybaseConnection component and loading data from a file located on the client side, you need to select Sybase 16 (SQL Anywhere) from the DB Version drop-down list to display the Is client file check box before selecting this check box.

This property is not available when Sybase IQ 15 is selected from the DB Version drop-down list.

DB Version

Select the version of the Sybase database to be used from the drop-down list.

• For Sybase IQ 12 and Sybase IQ 16, the file to be bulk-loaded must be located on the same machine as the Sybase IQ server.

• For Sybase IQ 15, the file to be bulk-loaded can be located on the client side, however, this means certain setup on the Sybase IQ server. For more information, see Sybase IQ client-side load support enhancements.

• For Sybase 16 (SQL Anywhere), the file to be bulk-loaded can be located on both the server side and the client side.

  Before loading data into Sybase 16 (SQL Anywhere), SQL Anywhere 17 must be installed. You can download it here. Once the installation is done, you need to check the system variable Path to make sure the installation path of SQL Anywhere 17 has been added to it, and then restart the Studio (in certain case restart the computer) to have the new Path variable take effect.

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.

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.
