tSybaseCDC – Docs for ESB 5.x

Component family

Databases/Sybase

Function

tSybaseCDC extracts source system
data that has changed since the last extraction and transports it to
another/other system(s).

Purpose

tSybaseCDC addresses data
extraction and transportation needs. tSybaseCDC only extracts the changes made to the
source operational data and makes them available to the target
system(s) using database CDC views.

Schema using CDC 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.

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:

Table name

Select the source table from which changes made to data are to be
captured.

Schema

Name of the DB schema.

Subscriber

Enter the name of the application that will use the change
table.

Events to catch

Insert: Select this check box to
catch the data inserted in the change table since the last
extraction.

Update: Select this check box to
catch the data updated in the change table since the last
extraction.

Delete: select this check box to
catch the data deleted in the change table since the last
extraction.

Limit

Maximum number of consumed rows a subscriber can recover from the
change table, per execution.

Advanced settings

Keep data in CDC Table

Select this check box to keep the changes made available to one or
more target systems, even after they have been consulted.

Trim all the String/Char columns

Select this check box to remove leading and trailing whitespace
from all the String/Char columns.

Trim column

Remove leading and trailing whitespace from defined
columns.

tStatCatcher Statistics

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

Select this check box to perform high-speed data processing, by treating multiple data flows
simultaneously. Note that this feature depends on the database or the application ability to
handle multiple inserts in parallel as well as the number of CPU affected. In the Number of parallel executions field, either:

Note that when parallel execution is enabled, it is not possible to use global variables to
retrieve return values in a subjob.

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 used as a start component. It requires an output
component and row Main link.
