# tTeradataTPump Inserts, updates, or deletes data in the Teradata database with the TPump loading utility which allows near-real-time data to be achieved in the data warehouse. Use this component particularly for environments where batch windows are shrinking and warehouse maintenance overlaps normal working hours. ## tTeradataTPump Standard properties These properties are used to configure tTeradataTPump running in the Standard Job framework. The Standard tTeradataTPump component belongs to the Databases family. The component in this framework is available in all Talend products. ## Basic settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Property type | Either Built-In or Repository.

| | Execution platform | Select the Operating System type you use. | | Host | Host name or IP address of the database server. | | Database

written at a time. | | 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.

Click Edit
schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:

| | Script generated folder | Browse your directory and select the destination of the file which
will be created. | | Action to data | On the data of the table defined, you can perform:


Insert: Add new entries to the
table. If duplicates are found, job stops.


Update: Make changes to existing
entries


Insert or
update: Insert a new record. If the record with the given reference
already exists, an update would be made.


Delete: Remove entries
corresponding to the input flow.

Information noteWarning:


*It is necessary to specify at least one
column as a primary key on which the Update and Delete
operations are based. You can do that by clicking Edit Schema and selecting the
check box(es) next to the column(s) you want to set as
primary key(s).* | | Where condition in case Delete | Type in a condition, which, once verified, will delete the
row.

This field appears only when Delete is selected from the Action to data drop-down list. | | Load file | Browse your directory and select the file from which you want to
load data. | | Field separator | Character, string, or regular expression to separate fields. | | Error file | Browse your directory and select the destination of the file where
the error messages will be recorded. | ## Advanced settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Define Log table | This check box is selected to define a log table you want to use
in place of the default one that is the database table you defined
in Basic settings. The syntax
required to define the log table is
*databasename.logtablename*. | | BEGIN LOAD | This field allows you to define your BEGIN LOAD command to
initiate or restart a TPump task. You can specify the number of
sessions to use, the error limit and any other parameters needed to
execute the task. The default value is:


SESSIONS 8 PACK 600 ARRAYSUPPORT ON CHECKPOINT 60 TENACITY 2
ERRLIMIT 1000.

For more information, see *Teradata Parallel Data Pump
Reference* documentation. | | Return tpump error | Select this check box to specify the exit code number to indicate
the point at which an error message should display in the
console. | | Define character set | Specify the character encoding you need use for your system | | tStat
Catcher Statistics | Select this check box to collect log data at the component
level. | ## Global Variables | Variables | Description | | --- | --- | | Global Variables | EXIT\_VALUE: the process exit code. 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 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.
