Inherit credentials from AWS role

Select this check box to leverage the instance profile credentials. These
credentials can be used on Amazon EC2 instances, and are delivered through the Amazon EC2
metadata service. To use this option, your Job must be running within Amazon EC2 or other
services that can leverage IAM Roles for access to resources. For more information, see Using an IAM Role to Grant Permissions to
Applications Running on Amazon EC2 Instances.

  according to the input flow.

Schema and Edit
schema

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.

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.

Table Name

Specify the name of table to be written.

Partition Key

Specify the partition key of the specified table.

Sort Key

Specify the sorted key of the specified table.

STS Endpoint

Select this check box and in the field displayed, specify the AWS Security Token
Service endpoint where session credentials are retrieved from.

This check box is available only when the Assume
role check box is selected.

Read Capacity Unit

Specify the number of read capacity units. For more information, see
Amazon DynamoDB Provisioned Throughput.

Write Capacity Unit

Specify the number of write capacity units. For more information, see
Amazon DynamoDB Provisioned Throughput.

tStatCatcher Statistics

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

Global Variables

NB_LINE: the number of rows processed. This is an After
variable and it returns an integer.

QUERY: the query statement being processed. This is a Flow
variable and it returns a string.

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 rule

This component is usually used as an end component of a Job or Subjob and it
always needs an input link.

Use an existing connection

List click the relevant connection component to reuse the connection
details you already defined.

Access
Key

Enter the access key ID that uniquely identifies an AWS Account. For

To enter the secret key, click the […] button next to
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.

Use End Point

Select this check box and in the Server Url field
displayed, specify the Web service URL of the DynamoDB database service.

Specify the AWS region by selecting a region name from the list or entering
a region between double quotation marks (e.g. “us-east-1”) in the
list. For more information about the AWS Region, see Regions and Endpoints.

Table Name

Specify the name of the table in which you need to write data. This table must already
exist.

Die on error

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

Throughput write percent

Enter, without using quotation marks, the percentage (expressed in decimal) to be used of
the write capacity pre-defined in Amazon. For further information about this write capacity,
see Provision throughput for write.

Advanced properties

Add properties to define extra operations you need tDynamoDBOutput to perform when writing data.

This table is present for future evolution of the component and using it requires the
high-level knowledge of DynamoDB development. Currently, there are no interesting user
configurable properties.

Usage rule

This component is used as an end component and requires an input link.

This component should use a tDynamoDBConfiguration
component present in the same Job to connect to a DynamoDB database. You need to drop a
tDynamoDBConfiguration component alongside this
component and configure the Basic settings of this
component to use tDynamoDBConfiguration.

This component, along with the Spark Batch component Palette it belongs to, appears only
when you are creating a Spark Batch Job.

Note that in this documentation, unless otherwise
explicitly stated, a scenario presents only Standard Jobs,
that is to say traditional
Talend
data integration Jobs.
