Basic settings

Access Key

The Access Key ID that uniquely identifies an AWS Account. For how
to get your Access Key and Access Secret, visit Getting Your AWS Access Keys.

Access Secret

The Secret Access Key, constituting the security credentials in
combination with the access Key.

the secret key field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double
quotes and click OK to save the settings.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to collect log data at the component
level.

Dynamic settings

Click the [+] button to add a row in the table and fill
the Code field with a context variable to choose your
database connection dynamically from multiple connections planned in your Job. This feature
is useful when you need to access database tables having the same data structure but in
different databases, especially when you are working in an environment where you cannot
change your Job settings, for example, when your Job has to be deployed and executed
independent of Talend Studio.

Once a dynamic parameter is defined, the Component List
box in the Basic settings view becomes unusable.

For more information on Dynamic settings and context
variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.

Global Variables

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

As a start component, this component is to be used along with
other S3 components.
