tPaloDimensionList

tPaloDimensionList Properties

Component family	Business Intelligence/Cube OLAP/Palo
Function	This component retrieves a list of dimension details from the given Palo database.
Purpose	This component lists dimension names, dimension types, number of dimension elements, maximum dimension indent, maximum dimension depth, maximum dimension level, dimension id from a given Palo server.
Basic settings	Use an existing connection	Select this check box and in the Component List click the relevant connection component to reuse the connection details you already defined. Note When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, Component list presents only the connection components in the same Job level.
Connection configuration Note Unavailable when using an existing connection.	Host Name	Enter the host name or the IP address of the host server.
	Server Port	Type in the listening port number of the Palo server.
	Username and Password	Enter the Palo user authentication data. To enter the password, click the […] button next to the password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes and click OK to save the settings.
	Database	The name of the database where the dimensions of interest reside.
	Retrieve cube dimensions	Select this check box to retrieve dimension information from an existing cube.
	Cube Note Available when you select the Retrieve cube dimensions check box.	Type in the name of the cube from which dimension information is retrieved.
	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. Since version 5.6, both the Built-In mode and the Repository mode are available in any of the Talend solutions. Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available: View schema: choose this option to view the schema only. Change to built-in property: choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes. Update repository connection: choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion. If you just want to propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the [Repository Content] window.
		Built-in: The schema is created and stored locally for this component only. Related topic: see Talend Studio User Guide.
		Repository: The schema already exists and is stored in the Repository, hence can be reused. Related topic: see Talend Studio User Guide.
Advanced settings	tStat Catcher Statistics	Select this check box to collect log data at the component level.
Global Variables	DIMENSIONNAME: the name of the dimension. This is a Flow variable and it returns a string. 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 further information about variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.
Connections	Outgoing links (from this component to another): Row: Main; Iterate. Trigger: Run if; On Subjob Ok; On Subjob Error; On Component Ok; On Component Error. Incoming links (from one component to this one): Row: Iterate Trigger: Run if; On Subjob Ok; On Subjob Error; On Component Ok; On Component Error. For further information regarding connections, see Talend Studio User Guide.
Usage	This component can be used in standalone or as start component of a process.
Log4j	The activity of this component can be logged using the log4j feature. For more information on this feature, see Talend Studio User Guide. For more information on the log4j logging levels, see the Apache documentation at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/Level.html.
Limitation	The output schema is fixed and read-only. Due to license incompatibility, one or more JARs required to use this component are not provided. You can install the missing JARs for this particular component by clicking the Install button on the Component tab view. You can also find out and add all missing JARs easily on the Modules tab in the Integration perspective of your studio. For details, see https://help.talend.com/display/KB/How+to+install+external+modules+in+the+Talend+products or the section describing how to configure the Studio in the Talend Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Scenario: Retrieving detailed dimension information from a given database

The Job in this scenario retrieves details of all of the dimensions from a given
database.

To replicate this scenario, proceed as follows:

Setting up the Job

Drop tPaloDimensionList and tLogRow from the component Palette onto the design workspace.
Right-click tPaloDimensionList to open
the contextual menu.
From this menu, select Row > Main to link the two components.

Configuring the tPaloDimensionList component

Double-click the tPaloDimensionList
component to open its Component
view.
In the Host name field, type in the host
name or the IP address of the host server, localhost
for this example.
In the Server Port field, type in the
listening port number of the Palo server. In this scenario, it is
7777.
In the Username field and the Password field, type in the authentication
information. In this example, both of them are
admin.
In the Database field, type in the
database name where the dimensions of interest reside,
Biker in this example.

Job execution

Press F6 to run the Job.

Details of all the dimensions in the Biker database are
retrieved and listed in the console of the Run
view.
