The Advanced Parameters form is where you specify group and job additional settings and parameters to further adjust their behavior. It's accessible from any group or job by clicking the Advanced Parameters link in the group or job parameters section.
Form Tabs
The form is organized in 3 tabs each containing different kind of parameters.
Four Different Forms
Each form is different depending on the type of object you're editing:
Common Fields for all Advanced Parameter Forms
The Data File Backup and Delete fields are available on the four different kind of advanced parameter forms.
Backup Data File: When this box is checked the Data File is automatically backed up. For exports, the data file is backed up just before generating a new data file. For loads the data file is backed up just after the data file has been loaded.
Delete Data File: When this box is checked the Data File is automatically deleted. For exports, the previous data file (i.e. one with the same name in the same location if exists) is systematically deleted before generating a new one. For loads the data file is deleted just after the data file has been loaded.
Note: Backup folders are created automatically in the folder where data files are located:
The form contains one area for each type of group:
Schedule Group: There are no advanced parameters for schedule groups.
Data Group
Logic Group: There are no advanced parameters for logic groups.
Data File Backup and Delete: See Common Fields.
Temp Data File Disposal: This option is only available for Export Data Group.
Export data groups use a temporary data file populated by all the jobs within the group. When a group runs successfully the temp data file is automatically deleted. The "Temp Data File Disposal" field indicates what to do when the group run fails. You can choose one of 2 options:
Note: The LoadError folder is created automatically in the folder where data files are located.
Data File Backup and Delete: See Common Fields.
DB Timeout (sec): Specifies the database timeout for the export job's SQL query. This value is set by default to the timeout value defined in the Setting/General Tab.
Auto Trim: This field indicates whether the content of each exported column should be automatically trimmed before being placed in the data file. You can choose from the following 4 options:
Note: The auto trim functionality is applied on all exported fields. This can slow down the performance if you export a large number of fields and/or rows. In that case it might be more efficient to use database trim functions directly in your SQL query to only trim specific fields.
When Job Returns No Data: This group of fields indicate what to do when an export job's SQL query returns no data.
The form contains one area for each type of group:
Schedule Group: There are no advanced parameters for schedule groups.
Data Group
Logic Group: There are no advanced parameters for logic groups.
Data File Backup and Delete: See Common Fields.
No other specific parameters are available for Load Groups.
Data File Backup and Delete: See Common Fields.
DB Timeout (sec): Specifies the database timeout for the load job's SQL query (to load the data). This value is set by default to the timeout value defined in the Setting/General Tab.
Auto Trim: This field indicates whether the content of each data file column should be automatically trimmed before being loaded in the destination table. You can choose from the following 4 options:
Note: The auto trim functionality is applied on all data file columns. This can slow down the performance if the data file contains a large number of columns and/or rows. In that case it might be more efficient to use database or DMT trim functions directly in the load mapping to only trim specific fields. You can use Trim functions in the Value column of the Load Mapping.
Job "Fails" when No Data is Loaded: When this box is checked, the job fails if no data is actually loaded in the destination table. Note this could be because there is no data in the data file or because no rows have actually been loaded due to errors or load conditions (see Load Mapping).
Allow Loading into System Tables (not recommended): When this box is checked, the dropdown list of destination tables to choose from in the Load Mapping section shows all the tables including the system ones. It's recommended not to check this box so only user tables are shown.
Incomplete Data: This field indicates what to do in case a row with incomplete data is encountered in the data file. A row with incomplete data is a row where not all the expected columns are present. You can choose from the following 4 options:
Note: As explained in the Error Handling section a job can continue running even if errors or warning are generated along the way.
Load Range: You can choose to load only a certain section of the data file in the destination table. This field indicates which section to load. You can choose to start loading data from the start of the data file or from a specific line. You can choose to keep loading data until the end of the data file or until a specific line.
