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:

FunName

Enter the name of the function you want to use to write
data.

Mapping

Set the parameters to select the data to write to the SAP
system.

Specify a shared
destination

Select this check box, and then specify the shared destination in the Shared destination name field. The Shared
destination name allows the tSAPxxx components to use shared destination on
the Talend Runtime when they are executed as part of an ESB Route or ESB
Data Service within the Talend Runtime container OSGi
Environment.

This option is available only when you select sap jco 3.*
from the SAP JCO Version drop-down list and do not select
the Use an existing connection check box.

Besides specifying the Shared destination name in the
component, you also need to setup the SAP DataSource for the Talend Runtime.
What you need to do to define the SAP DataSource and how to configure it are described in
the readme.txt provided in the Talend ESB package within
the /add-ons/datasource/sap folder.

Advanced settings

SAP Properties

If you need to use custom configuration for the SAP system being
used, complete this table with the property or properties to be
customized. For example,

ftp and http based
programs

To invoke from the SAP server a function which requires document
downloading, select this check box and make sure that SAPGUI has
been installed with the SAP system.

If this check box is selected but SAPGUI has not been installed,
errors will occur.

Release Connection

Clear this check box to continue to use the selected connection
once the component has performed its task.

tStatCatcher Statistics

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

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.
