Field Name

Field Type

Description

Label*

Default ValueOracle - Parallel Load
ExampleOracle - Parallel Load

String

Specify the name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.

Schema name

Default Value: N/A
Example: Sys

String/Expression

Specify the database schema name.

You can pass the values as expressions using the pipeline parameters but cannot use values from the upstream Snap.

Table name*

Default Value: N/A
Example: people

String/Expression

Specify the table on which to execute the load operation.

You can pass the values as expressions using the pipeline parameters but cannot use values from the upstream Snap.

Create table if not present

Default Value: Deselected

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to automatically create the target table if it does not exist.

  • If a second input view is configured for the Snap and it contains a document with schema (metadata) from the source table, the Snap creates the new (target) table using the same schema (metadata). However, if the schema comes from a different database, the Snap might fail with the Unable to create table: "<table_name>" error due to data type incompatibility.

  • In the absence of a second input view, the Snap creates a table based on the data types of the columns generated from the first row of the input document (first input view).

The newly created table is not visible to subsequent database Snaps during runtime validation because of implementation details. If you want to immediately use the newly updated data, you must use a child pipeline invoked through the Pipeline Execute Snap.

Maximum thread count*


Default Value: 0
Example: 20

Integer/Expression

Specify the maximum number of threads allowed to perform data insertions simultaneously. If the value is 0, the snap automatically sets the number of threads equal to the number of available processors on the system.

Batch capacity*


Default Value: N/A 1000
Example: 500

Integer/Expression

Specify the maximum number of records allowed in a single batch for an insertion task.

Maximum error count*


Default Value50 
Example:10

Integer/Expression

Specify the maximum number of record insertion errors allowed before execution stops on the next error. For example, if you specify a value of 10, the pipeline execution continues until the number of failed records exceeds 10.

A value of -1 means no limit. At least one more error document than the specified maximum value is expected, but task concurrency may result in additional error documents. This applies only when the error behavior is set to Route Error Data to Error View.

Truncate table before load


Default Value: Deselected

Checkbox/Expression

Select this checkbox to truncate the target table before loading data.

Snap Execution

Default Value
Example: Validate & Execute

Dropdown list

Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes:

  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime.

  • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data.

  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Error

Reason

Resolution

Pre-load truncation of the target table failed

The target table may not exist or a database access error may have occurred when trying to execute the TRUNCATE statement.

Verify your database credentials and ensure the target table exists, then try again.

Unable to determine target table column names

Connection used to retrieve table metadata dispayed displayed an exception while closing.

Verify the target table column names and try again.
