Property Type

Select the way the connection details
will be set.

• Built-In: The connection details will be set
  locally for this component. You need to specify the values for all
  related connection properties manually.

• Repository: The connection details stored
  centrally in Repository > Metadata will be reused by this component. You need to click
  the […] button next to it and in the pop-up
  Repository Content dialog box, select the
  connection details to be reused, and all related connection
  properties will be automatically filled in.

This property is not available when other connection component is selected
from the Connection Component drop-down list.

Select the component whose connection details will be
used to set up the connection to Azure storage from the drop-down list.

Enter the name of the storage account you need to access. A storage account
name can be found in the Storage accounts dashboard of the Microsoft Azure Storage
system to be used. Ensure that the administrator of the system has granted you the
appropriate access permissions to this storage account.

Enter the key associated with the storage account you need to access. Two
keys are available for each account and by default, either of them can be used for
this access.

Select the protocol for this connection to be created.

Use Azure Shared Access Signature

Select this check box to use a shared access signature (SAS) to access the
storage resources without need for the account key. For more information,
see Using Shared Access Signatures
(SAS).

In the Azure Shared Access Signature field displayed,
enter your account SAS URL between double quotation marks. You can get the
SAS URL for each allowed service on Microsoft Azure portal after generating
SAS. The SAS URL format is
https://<$storagename>.<$service>.core.windows.net/<$sastoken>,
where <$storagename> is the storage account name,
<$service> is the allowed service name
(blob, file,
queue or table), and
<$sastoken> is the SAS token value. For more
information, see Constructing the Account SAS
URI.

Note that the SAS has valid period, you can set the start time at which the
SAS becomes valid and the expiry time after which the SAS is no longer valid
when generating it, and you need to make sure your SAS is still valid when
running your Job.

Specify the name of the Azure queue to which the messages will be added.

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) 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.

The schema of this component is predefined with one single column
MessageContent that stores the body of each message.

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

• View schema: choose this option to view the
  schema only.

• Change to built-in property: choose this
  option to change the schema to Built-in for
  local changes.

• Update repository connection: choose this
  option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate
  the changes to all the Jobs upon completion. If you just want to propagate the
  changes to the current Job, you can select No
  upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the [Repository Content] window.

Select the check box to stop the execution of the Job when an error
occurs.

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