# tHiveClose Closes connection to a Hive database. tHiveClose closes an active connection to a database. This component is not shipped with your Talend Studio by default. You need to install it using the Feature Manager. For more information, see [Installing features using the Feature Manager](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/studio-user-guide/install-features-to-talend-studio). ## tHiveClose Standard properties These properties are used to configure tHiveClose running in the Standard Job framework. The Standard tHiveClose component belongs to the Big Data and the Databases families. The component in this framework is available in all Talend products. ## Basic settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Component list | If there is more than one connection used in the Job, select
tHiveConnection from the
list. | ## Advanced settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | tStatCatcher Statistics | Select this check box to collect the log data at a component
level. | ## Global Variables | Variables | Description | | --- | --- | | Global Variables | 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 checkbox is
cleared, if the component has this checkbox.

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 more information about variables, see [Using contexts and variables](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/studio-user-guide/contexts-and-variables). | ## Usage | Usage guidance | Description | | --- | --- | | **Usage rule** | This component is to be used along with other Hive components,
especially with tHiveConnection as
tHiveConnection allows you to
open a connection for the transaction which is underway. | | 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.

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](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/components/defining-context-groups/reading-data-from-databases-through-context-based-dynamic-connections) and [Reading data from different MySQL databases
using dynamically loaded connection parameters](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/components/context/reading-data-from-different-mysql-databases-using-dynamically-loaded-connection-parameters). For more information on
Dynamic settings and context variables, see
[Dynamic schema](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/studio-user-guide/dynamic-schema) and [Creating a context group and define context
variables in it](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/8.0/studio-user-guide/creating-context-group-and-define-context-variables-in-it). | | Prerequisites | The Hadoop distribution must be properly installed, so as to guarantee the interaction
with *Talend Studio*. The following list presents MapR related information for
example.
