# tMarkLogicBulkLoad Imports local files into a MarkLogic server database in bulk mode using the MarkLogic Content Pump (MLCP) tool. 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). ## tMarkLogicBulkLoad Standard properties These properties are used to configure tMarkLogicBulkLoad running in the Standard Job framework. The Standard tMarkLogicBulkLoad 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 | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Property Type | Either Built-In or Repository.

| | 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.

Information noteNote: When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, do the following if you
want to share an existing connection between the parent Job and the child Job (for example,
to share the connection created by the parent Job with the child Job).

  1. In the parent level, register the database connection to be shared in the Basic settings view of the connection component which creates that very database connection.
  2. In the child level, use a dedicated connection component to read that registered database connection.


For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels,
see [Sharing a database connection](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/7.3/studio-user-guide/sharing-database-connection). | | Host | Enter the IP address or hostname of the MarkLogic server. | | Port | Enter the listening port number of the MarkLogic server. | | Database | Enter the name of the MarkLogic database you want to use. | | Username and Password | Enter the user authentication data to access the MarkLogic database.

To enter the password, click the [...] button
next to the password field, enter the password in double quotes in the pop-up dialog box,
and click OK to save the settings. | | Load Folder | Specify the directory to the local files to be imported into the
MarkLogic database. | | DocId Prefixed As | Specify the prefix used to construct the URI of the imported files.
For more information about the URI construction, see https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/ingestion/content-pump#id\_14982. | ## Advanced settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Additional MLCP Parameters | Specify additional options for the MLCP import command. For more
information about the import options, see https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/ingestion/content-pump#id\_63999. | | Use external MLCP process | As the MarkLogic Content Pump (MLCP) program is required on the machine
where you run your Job that involves this component, you can do either
of the following:



For further information about MLCP, see the related Marklogic
documentation: [Loading Content Using Marklogic
Content Pump](https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/ingestion/content-pump). | | 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 | 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 can be used together with the tMarkLogicInput component to check if the files are
imported as expected. | | 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](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). | | Limitation | The MarkLogic Content Pump (MLCP) tool needs to be installed on the
machine where you run the Job that involves this component. |
