Advanced Properties

The following table describes the advanced properties for AmazonKinesis Stream sources:

Property	Description
Operation Type	Specifies the type of data object operation. This is a read-only property.
Guaranteed Processing	Guaranteed processing ensures that the mapping processes messages published by the sources and delivers them to the targets at least once. In the event of a failure, there could be potential duplicates but the messages are processed successfully. If the external source or the target is not available, the mapping execution stops to avoid any data loss. Select this option for guaranteed delivery of data streamed from the AmazonKinesis Stream.
Degree of Parallelism	The number of processes that run in parallel within a shard. Specify a value that is less than or equal to the number of shards.
