tAddCRCRow

Provides a unique ID which helps improving the quality of processed data. CRC stands for Cyclical Redundancy Checking.

tAddCRCRow calculates a surrogate key based on one or several columns and adds it to the defined schema.

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.

These properties are used to configure tAddCRCRow running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard tAddCRCRow component belongs to the Data Quality family.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend products.

Basic settings

Properties	Description
Schema and Edit Schema	A schema is a row description. it defines the number of fields to be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-in or stored remotely in the Repository. In this component, a new CRC column is automatically added. Built-in: The schema will be created and stored locally for this component only. For more information about a component schema in its Basic settings tab, see Basic settings tab. Repository: The schema already exists and is stored in the Repository, hence can be reused in various projects and Job designs. For more information about a component schema in its Basic settings tab, see Basic settings tab.
Implication	Select the check box facing the relevant columns to be used for the surrogate key checksum.

Global Variables

Variables	Description
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 more information about variables, see Using contexts and variables.
