Label*

Default Value: Oracle - Parallel Load
Example: Oracle - 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 Snaps in your pipeline.

Schema name

Default Value: N/A
Example: SYS

String/Expression

Specify the database schema name. The suggestions in the Schema field are populated only when at least a single table exists in the schema. If no tables exist to use that schema, only SYS, SYSTEM, and XDB are populated.

Table name*

Default Value: N/A
Example: people

String/Expression

Specify the table on which to execute the load operationthat the rows will be inserted into. This list is populated based on the tables associated with the selected schema.

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 because of data type incompatibility.

• Without 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).

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: 1000
Example: 500

Integer/Expression

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

Snap memory usage: To gracefully handle failed record insertions, the Snap must retain some input document data in memory during the Snap execution. To calculate the memory usage follow this formula:
Max thread count * Batch capacity * 2 * typical record size
For example, with a Maximum thread count of 4, a Batch capacity of 10,000, and an average record size of 50 bytes, the input document data in Snap memory might peak at 4 million bytes.

Maximum error count*

Default Value: 50 
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.

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.
