tTeradataFastLoadUtility – Docs for ESB 5.x

Component Family

Databases/Teradata

Function

tTeradataFastLoadUtility reads a database and extracts
fields using queries.

Purpose

tTeradataFastLoadUtility executes
a database query according to a strict order which must be the same
as the one in the schema. The retrieve list of fields is then
transfered to the next component, using a connection flow (Main row).

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:

Script generated folder

Browse your directory and select the destination of the file which
will be created.

Load file

Browse your directory and select the file from which you want to
load data.

Field separator

Character, string or regular expression to separate fields.

Error file

Browse your directory and select the destination of the file where
the error messages will be recorded.

Advanced settings

Define character set

Specify the character encoding you need use for your
system.

Check point

Enter the check point value.

Error files

Enter the file name where the error messages are stored. By
default, the code ERRORFILES table_ERR1, table_ERR2 is
entered, meaning that the two tables table_ERR1
and table_ERR2 are used to record the error
messages.

Return fastload error

Select this check box to specify the exit code number to indicate
the point at which an error message should display in the
console.

ERRLIMIT

Enter the limit number of errors detected during the loading
phase. Processing stops when the limit is reached.

The default error limit value is 1000000.
