tRedshiftOutputBulk – Docs for ESB 5.x

Component family

Databases/Amazon Redshift

Function

This component receives data from the preceding component,
generates a single delimited/CSV file and then uploads the file to
Amazon S3.

Purpose

This component allows you to prepare a delimited/CSV file that can
be used by tRedshiftBulkExec to
feed Amazon Redshift.

Basic settings

Data file path at local

Specify the local path to the file to be generated.

Note that the file is generated on the same machine where the
Studio is installed or where the Job using this component is
deployed.

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.

Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this
component only. Related topic: see Talend Studio
User Guide.

Repository: You have already created the schema and
stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs. Related
topic: see Talend Studio User Guide.

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

Append the local file

Select this check box to append data to the specified local file if it already exists,
instead of overwriting it.

Compress the data file

Select this check box and select a compression type from the list displayed to compress
the data file.

This check box disappears when the Append the local
file check box is selected.

Bucket

Type in the name of the Amazon S3 bucket to which the file is
uploaded.

Delete local file after putting it to s3

Select this check box to delete the local file after being uploaded to Amazon S3. By
default, this check box is selected.

Create directory if not exists

Data file path at local field
if it does not exist. By default, this check box is selected.

the following attributes for each parameter:

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at the
Job level as well as at each component level.

Global Variables

NB_LINE: the number of rows processed. 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 further information about variables, see Talend Studio
User Guide.

Usage

This component is more commonly used with the tRedshiftBulkExec component to feed Amazon Redshift
with a delimited/CSV file. Used together they offer gains in
performance while feeding Amazon Redshift.
