Define a Target Schema Strategy

You can define a target schema strategy for the target table in the Write transformation.

You can select from the following target schema strategy options:

RETAIN - Retain existing target schema: The Data Integration Service retains the existing target schema.
CREATE - Create or replace table at run time: The Data Integration Service drops any existing target table associated with the write object and creates a table based on the data object or the mapping flow.; When the Data Integration Service creates a table based on the data object, the table contains columns that match the ports in the data object. If you create or replace the target at run time with a customized data object, the Data Integration Service creates a table with the name referenced in the data object connection.; When the Data Integration Service creates a table based on the mapping flow, the table contains columns that match generated ports in the Write transformation.
Assign Parameter: You can assign a parameter to represent the value for the target schema strategy and then change the parameter at run time.

Configure this functionality on the

Advanced

tab of the data object.
